Greta Constantine once again held the unofficial kick-off to Fashion Week in Toronto. Co-designers Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickersgill eschewed as usual the tents of LG Fashion Week, this time landing at the Audi dealership, of all places.

The Greta boys are renowned for their flowing jersey pieces and a draped Grecian-style silhouette--this was present in their Spring/Summer 2010 presentation, but it was joined by a new men's line, as well as a few more structured pieces continuing the robo-hot look of their last season's collection and its recognizable seatbelt-couture tops worn by Coco Rocha, Fritz Helder, and Yasmin Warsame.

Nuit Blanche-ers trooped into the Distillery District's Fermenting Cellar on Saturday night to get a glimpse into the world of Canadian fashion via the Art of Fashion design competition.

Designers were called on by the non-profit Art of Fashion foundation to interpret the theme of "iconic power," and design a capsule collection as well as a backdrop on which to display their collections. Judges choosing the best designer included Project Runway Canada mentor Brian Bailey, Bustle's Shawn Hewson, and designer David Dixon.

The smooth, round toes of Blundstone boots are pretty recognizable, but I found them near incognito... covered under layers of paint, surrounded by fish, and obscured by add-ons at Blundstone Canada's sixth annual Boot It UP! Fundraiser for SKETCH.

Love of Mine on Queen West is one hell of a jewelry shop. And they carry whimsical housewares (including giant ceramic unicorn heads), cool clothing, and funky accessories.

The sixth annual 'White Cashmere Collection 2009: Fashion with Compassion' runway show kicked of the yearly slew of fashion-related breast cancer fundraisers and awareness taking place this week.

Distinguishing it from the rest is easy: it's the one with the dresses made of toilet paper.

Specializing in well-chosen vintage staples like dresses, shoes and boots, Penny Arcade also has a wealth of gems at bargain prices. And if you get tired of trying on its many treasures, there's a couch on which you can take a rest and chat up your fellow vintage-hounds.
