Dylan's mustache is epic... epically awesome, or epically douchey, I can't decide.

Andrew: My fave (and the hottest!). Understated style is the best. Thien: Just because it's from D&G doesn't meant you can pair it with everything in your wardrobe. Designer brands are overrated.

Fucc. I can't make fun of Dylan and Jon. Rest are dweebs, particularly Andy and his Cosby sweater.

CIBC should use Cameron's photo in their next ad :)
I like Andrew's sweater, not too crazy about those boots though.
And yup, Dylan's mustache is epic!

I thought Thien's look was pretty cool actually.
I can already imagine the blueberry comments Ayla is going to get.

Ummm, excuse me. But, it's not D&G. It's Dolce. Big difference. If you knew your fashion, you would not have made that mistake.

this is not street fashion. come on?

i want to see crackhead bboys & rockers. jazzy heroin junkies. prostitutes in back alleys. exstacy ghb coke heads sketching out in front of afterhours. alcoholic punk rockers. goths trancing out. maybe even some toronto suicide girls.

your stuff is not street fashion. it actually embarasses me. please change or stop this non-sense. thanks.

Yo peeps - what's with all the hatin' in this peace-lovin' city? They've got character and class, so let's all jut chill out and enjoy 'stachies 'n bootays.

Sorry for not distinguishing between the short form and longer version of the brand, but really it's all the same fluff. Real fashion style to me is knowing how to put pieces together and taking into consideration line, color, fit, and proportion regardless of the brand's reputation/high-fashion prices. I just don't believe in trying to do too many things at once with an outfit. You just end up looking like a fool.

It's not Dolce, it's Dolce & Gabbana. Big difference. If you knew your fashion, you would not have made that mistake. Douche.

Go Andrew! Way to look killer while not working in film, design, fashion or art like everyone else featured in this column.

I have a crush on Andrew. Somehow he pulls off this whole rugged, strong male vibe while still looking fashionable.... but not too high maintenance. So hot.I just had to scroll up to look at him again. Mmmmm.

Everyone else here looks great. I really like the symmetry of these photographs. Yet another wonderful post.

D&G is cheaper and made in china
Dolce & Gabbana is pricier and made in italy

Yes, same parent company, but different clothes and markets. To put it more simply: D&G is to Dolce as Honda is to Acura. Get it?

So someone can post about punching people in the face, and thats acceptable to Blogto...

But I make a comment about hatting skinny jeans, and that comment gets removed? W00t democracy...

Nice post....not a bad representation from the "fashion district"
of toronto.......Isn't that what the king/queen west area is supposed to be?

Dolce & Gabbana is known as Douche and Babbana in Bangkok

Is this a posting about who's Hot or Not or about Fashion?

Andrew's got good style but all the guys look great here!

Can you please make the pictures more close up to the subject so that the peeps appear larger than 2 inches tall on my computer screen. I can barely see what they're wearing!! Thanks!

Despite his smalltown claims, Andrew is to me the most sartorially savvy. He looks great!

Andrew looks like the product of a torrid love affair between Kevin Federline and David Beckham. Douchebag.

Who cares? Are you a member of some sort of pedantic fashion trivia cabal? Besides, isn't most of their stuff from any line played out all to hell? Meh.

'Producer', 'film', 'fashion', 'designer', 'gallery-owner', 'entrepreneur' and 'real-estate developer', and this comment makes me a 'writer'. Golgafrinchams to a man/woman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Places_in_The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Golgafrincham

Blah blah blah. Because your contribution offers us all such value? What's wrong with owning or co-owning a gallery exactly? Sheesh.
