L'Oreal Toronto Fashion Week: Wear In The World Part 1

"Wear In The World" was the tagline for this season as it recognizes Toronto's growing exposure in the international market. Unfortunately I couldn't attend all the shows due to scheduling, but I made sure to make it out for Bustle and Joeffer Caoc Tuesday night!


Bustle is such a hot ticket event and always a favourite with Canada's fashionable. Bustle focuses mainly on menswear but has a few male inspired women's wear.

The women still come out for the show because Bustle is also known for having gorgeous male models!


I'm not going to pretend I know technical fashion jargon, but I really enjoyed the fitted suits with satin striping and great fall jackets. Bustle style has a very well-tailored look but with an element of fun.
Not a very good picture but it's the legendary host of Fashion Television Jeanne Beker at Bustle.

I remember a few years ago I met Joeffer Caoc and had no idea who he was. I was interning as a makeup artist at a photography studio when he and a stylist friend stopped by and I remember him being so unbelievably nice. I ran into him a few months later at Toronto's Pride parade event and I had forgotten his name. A few days later I saw him on Fashion Television! He was such a humble guy he never even bothered to tell me he was one of Canada's top designers! That's also when I realized I needed to learn more about Canada's fashion scene.

I was really glad to see his show on Tuesday. He's got an exquisite style and knows how to dress a woman.

My favourite pieces were the dresses and satin trench coats.

I loved the makeup! The skin was flawless with a bit of dewiness on the cheekbones. Cheeks were kept soft with a little contouring. Metallic deep blue was mixed with black on the eyes, giving a strong smoky effect. Lips were natural in a matte peachy-nude. The hair was beautifully styled in a relaxed up-do. Half the hair was sectioned up and then was pulled back into a soft bun.

My best friend, Christine, and I after the shows. Tuesday was a great night and I ran into some old friends and business contacts I hadn't seen in a while. Part 2 isn't so pleasant and full of drama lol. But stay tuned for Part 3 which will feature my interview with L'Oreal Paris makeup artis, Eddie Maleterre, and L'Oreal Paris hair stylist, Eric Del Monaco, about fall beauty trends! Also, later today I will be announcing the winner of my birthday give away so be on the lookout!
