Toronto Fashion Week ended with one of the best shows of the week on Friday night. Dare to Wear Love - a benefit for the Stephen Lewis Foundation - featured designs from 25 Canadian fashion designers created out of fabrics sourced in Africa by the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Participating designers included Greta Constantine, Linda Lundstrom and Pam Chorley just to name a few. Some of the models who graced the stage were Olivia Chow (above), MTV's Jessi Cruickshank and Fashion Week favourite Stacie Mckenzie. Check out the photos and video of the show below.

Lucian Matis brought his trademark ethereal slink to the runways on the final day of Fashion Week, his dainty models floating down the catwalk in a mist of peach, silver, gold, and white.

Gotstyle menswear owner Melissa Austria is the female Mel Gibson - she knows what men want. Her second story store, located on King West, is a shopping oasis for men and even includes a grooming salon. The male Fashion Week audience (who were inundated with women's lines throughout the week) finally got an interesting treat yesterday with Gotstyle's showcase of many of the Canadian designers they carry in the store.

Pat McDonagh doesn't shy away from dessert - and she put cakes on the runway yesterday during her show at Toronto Fashion Week to prove it. (She was also apparently inspired by her partnership with Baskin-Robbins). Her whole collection was cone shaped and there were even models decked out in special flavours like Rocky Road and Jamoca Almond Fudge. Ok. Not quite. But her outfits did have names like "cream puff", "cherry poppins" and "strawberry field". Check it for yourself in the video above and photos below.

Ula Zukowska had a great music set for her show yesterday in Toronto at LG Fashion Week - very Requiem for a Dream. Inspired by devastated mother Earth and despair in life's volumes, Ula explored various materials including taffeta, organza (I couldn't touch, therefore I think), nylon, jute and crinkled foil. Her Spring/Summer 2010 collection felt more like Winter-Fall mostly due to the neutral and earthy palette that was accompanied by lots of black.

Jessica Biffi knows how to put on a show. Under the tents at Toronto Fashion Week yesterday, techno music pulsed, neon lights flickered and models moved like broken dolls. As the opening video played, I knew this wasn't just going to be about models walking in a straight line.
