Just wondering - now that it's officially Fall, will girls stop wearing bathing suits to bars?!

Wakestock Stage Style

by Andrea Hoang

The rain pulled the curtain on the highly anticipated Metric performance at Centre Island last Sunday, the final day of Wakestock. Scarf-bearing, braided-hippie-hairbanded fans cooled off in the wet weather that started coming down as the Toronto based band took stage. Frontwoman and emerging Toronto style icon Emily Haines, known for her retro-inspired mini dresses, vintage tees and funky sunglasses didn’t disappoint with costume or performance at this show. The blond, sugary-voiced songstress rocked out wearing a tiny silver romper with an open back and delicate flutter sleeves. She danced on stage in violet, pointy-toed booties.

Opening for Metric was electropop band Dragonette from Toronto and London, and rockers We Are Scientists, who hail from NYC. Dragonette’s Martina Sorbara spiced up the stage with a belted cerise high-waisted short, paired with a simple white tank. The guys from We Are Scientists kept it city slick casual with skinny jeans and tees.

NOW MyStylers @ FAT

NOW Magazine presented a runway show @ FAT: Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week featuring some of the people who've been snapped for the paper's weekly style section:
"MyStyle is about your style whether it’s built around your favourite ratty Chuck Taylors, the red vinyl fetish jacket you picked up at the One of a Kind show, a great vintage frock or some designer accessory that would actually earn a snap of approval from more label snooty shutterbugs."

More Fall '07 Trends - Pimps & Ho's

Prostitution is apparently a major trend for fall, with PVC tights, bondage inspired dresses, thigh high boots and vintage Versace prints all over the streets, floating around the blogosphere, and even popping up on a runway here and there (do runways even matter anymore?). Anyways, to the point - how did "Fuck-Me Boots" become such a modern classic, why now, and what does it mean? Answer: I have no fucking clue, but doesn't it look hot? I mean, when you think about it hookers are the only ones who've fashion figured out - forget about trends, they don't matter and make you look like everyone else. It's all about looking hot - sorry, hawwwwt and having fun!!! So ladies, go grab yourselves some 3 inch stilletto boots, a white tank and some suspenders and make like Julia Roberts circa Pretty Woman - and don't forget some safety pins to hold up those boots and some rubber for good measure!
