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.

Oversized clear lens glasses aren't necessarily a new trend among the wee hipsters on Queen West - they're just becoming MUCH more popular with the fashion crowd and 905ers dressing up alike! We never said fashion was pretty!
