Fashion Week Closing PartyThe official after party for LG Fashion Week was at Muzik, though, a series of bad vibes and verbal thumbs-down expressions from most people I spoke to throughout the week didn't exactly make me want to go. So I skipped it and checked out the Burroughes Building instead. With a harsh cover of $25 bucks, (why so much?) this was a party that clearly meant the only people there were guest-listed.

The scene was quieter than expected. There were people but it wasn't a mad house. A nice party with good music, (though not sure on the sound setup...) Fritz Helder opened followed by Tuxedo Mask and Parallels, two acts I didn't know much about but enjoyed.

Lucian MatisFor Elk's, Lucian Matis' fashion show was bad news. For everyone else it was amazing! The most worked hair you've ever seen! Teased and woven around antlers with long, dark elegant gowns. Lucian has an eye for good things (just look at his custom distressed jeans.)

Coco RochaYesterday's events were swimming with Coco love. I mean, Coco Rocha is a pretty big supermodel and it was great to see her at Fashion Week stuff, but one does wonder if she'd be around if she wasn't a Canadian herself. In any case, sweet girl, I watched her get pounded by camera, writer, fanboy/girl and time after time she was all smiles and nice. It was only after so many people kept bothering her I thought I might as well too. I'm very happy with the pictures and glad that I shot her.

She's preeeeeeeeettttttttttttttty.
