L'Oreal Fashion Week in Toronto

Lorrayne Anthony wrote in The Vancouver Sun newspaper today "A sexy look will herald spring, but with a more...subtle feminine touch."  The show started off with tailored looks in whites, blacks and yellows, and moved into golds, lime greens, teal blues and saffron with some snakeskin and lepoard-spot patterns!
