Crash, Burn, Yorkville

I heard that the new Chanel boutique was opening last night so.....I crashed the party. Hey, what do you expect - street fashion has no rules! I arrived late, suitable dressed in head to toe black, swinging my fake, second-hand Chanel quilted bag irreverently. Funny that nobody at the opening even came over to say hello - huff can't expect everyone to have manners. What to do? I chatted with the help; who were friendly enough. The new boutique has two levels crammed to the ceiling with more Chanel than you can shake a stick at! As most of the guests had left, I took photos of mannequins dripping in Chanel accessories.

The highlight of this reckless venture was creating my fantasy Chanel shopping list. And the ridiculously expensive Steinway & Sons piano, designed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld. If you have $97,000 laying about you can buy one. It is pretty cool for a piano; hand make in Germany and limited edition of course.

Still feeling reckless, I decided to keep crashing through Yorkville. Next stopping at the new boutique 119 Corbo [119 Yorkville Ave]. Owner Linda Perisa was holding court with some fine looking ladies, who are ready to sell you the latest in Chloe, Mui Mui, Sacai, Stella, YSL and Prada Sport. Ended up at the after party at some bar around the corner with well known Toronto fashion names all getting pretty merry on booze and good looking men. All in all, it was fun, but not really my scene. It was a fun peek inside another world, but with that I headed back to where I belonged - the streets which are Toronto Street Fashion.
