In Photos: David Dixon Fall 2009 Collection Plus Barbie Collection

David Dixon kicked off the week's runway events at Toronto Fashion Week by showcasing his new lineup (video here), followed by an extremely entertaining Barbie-inspired show (video here).

I was shooting in the photographer's "pit", and somehow managed to snag one of the best spots: front and centre! The pit was so crowded that all of us photographers sitting on the floor at the front had to get pretty intimate in order to fit within our designated space.

There was a photographer for Fashion Television sitting behind me, and she got to be the "big spoon", while I was the "little spoon", if you get my drift.

The girls strutted their stuff down the runway:

And had a bit of fun doing it too:

And of course the man himself made his appearance at the end of the show.
