My Paved Runway - Andy

20080802-andyshoes.jpgMy Paved Runway is back this weekend, and ready to give you more good-looking locals with their own ideas of what fashion means to them. This week I happened across a visitor to our fine city who was impressed with how creative Torontonians can get, but he does a great job showing flashy city-style himself.

My Paved Runway - Siobhan and Amy

My Paved Runway - Amy and George

Amy's purple silk scarf tied in a bow, and George's studded Chuck Taylors helped create a more individual approach to their looks.

My Paved Runway - Sorrell

SorrellMy Paved Runway will be appearing every Saturday, highlighting fashion on the streets of Toronto. It's here to spark your creativity or just give you a chance to live vicariously through others.

Hanging outside of Steve's Music on Queen St. West, Sorrell's muted colour pallete and customized cruiser, complete with stickers "to cover the rust", gave hints of a refreshingly laid back attitude towards fashion.

Do you have a style philosophy or a way you choose what to wear?
I don't really have a philosophy, I just open my drawer and grab whatever is there or whatever is clean. I dress pretty basic - basic colours and tones. I like clothes that are a little bit too big for me, where the tops would be too big and the bottoms would be too small. It's summer and I'm not wearing bright colours.

Did you ever go through certain phases where you would wear bright colours and do you think you're in a colour phase right now?
I'm in my grey period; grey and beige. I've definitely gone through a bright colour sort of thing but I've toned it down I guess? I kind of feel like I just blend in with the rest of Toronto being that the city is pretty grey.
