I step out of the subway on a late Monday afternoon, trudging through the snow down Avenue Road, catching glimpses of fellow Toronto Fashion Week attendees. We all gravitate towards the red carpet like a moth to a flame. I step inside and am swept up staircases, past security checkpoints and velvet couches; models elegantly sipping Fiji water from straws between sittings. Today is the first day of Toronto Fashion Week and backstage is buzzing with energy. We had the opportunity to chat with makeup artist Simone Otis, industry legend whose portfolio ranges from the infamous “Got Milk?” ads to Vogue, who was awarded the best editorial makeup artist of the year at the P&G Beauty Awards. Simone partnered up with beautyBoutique by Shoppers Drug Mart and was responsible for the looks behind Triarchy, a sustainable luxury denim brand based out of Toronto and LA spearheaded by brother sister duo Ania and Adam Taubenfligel.

UNTTLD (Simon Belanger)
Luxurious, domineering, and vibrant – three words that solidly define UNTTLD’s incredible showcase of their F/W 2018 collection at Toronto Fashion Week. Adorned with black headdresses (or hats), the models that graced Yorkville Village’s runway flaunted boldcoloured velvet dresses and boss-lady outfits. Since 2011, designer duo Simon Belanger and Jose Manuel Jacques have been creating lux pieces that reflect on masculine feminity to emphasize the capabilities and desires of the modern woman. We had the opportunity to speak to Simon shortly after the show about their one-of-a-kind collection that is truly one to reminisce.
Dr. Sapna Sriram
When she’s not taking care of or teaching her own kids, she’s making sure Canadians know how to take care of themselves especially when it comes to injuries and injury prevention. Dr. Sapna Sriram is a leading Canadian chiropractic physician and award-winning co-founder and CEO of Integra Health Centre. She is an injury expert and recognized for her innovative approaches to performance optimization and injury rehabilitation. We got a chance to ask her all about how and why she founded her facility.
