French Connection
Over the Rainbow
Poise boutique (Valentino, Missoni, etc.)

auditions, day one: Golnaz, Diana, Ahmed

Many hopefuls showed up at this week’s auditions, however, only 10 girls and 10 guys will be selected for the final show. If you missed the auditions, you can still email ufashion@utoronto.ca with the following: one head shot, one full body shot and your measurements. They’re looking for people who are fun, comfortable on stage and project a healthy body image.

Good luck!

Also, if you’re free next Friday, come join me and uFashion at their Sex and the City party at Riva lounge on College.  Dress to impress, I will be taking photos for shopsterium :)

ps. Shopsterium is now on Facebook! Let’s be friends!

Occupation: 1st year general arts student at McGill

Where I like to shop: Urban Outfitters, Over the Rainbow

My style: Dressy, I don’t like to look sloppy.

Bag: I got this bag at Roots two years ago.

.

Tarik

Tarik

Occupation: Freelance model and a DJ

Where I like to shop: At vintage stores, a lot of the clothes have more character there. Also you’re more likely to find something original – you won’t see everybody else rocking it.

My Style: Vintage with little inspiration from 70s Jamaican gangster movies. Also comfort – you gotta be warm and comfortable.

Favourite Item: The boots. This is probably one of the first winters since maybe grade 8 that I’ve actually worn boots during the winter time. I’ve always suffered for fashion. This year I’ve decided to get some proper boots.

Wayne

Wayne

Occupation: Clothing designer http://www.wayneclarkdesign.com

Where I like to shop: Holt Renfrew, The Bay, just everywhere… I don’t’ get a chance to shop often, so when I do I kind of walk around and do everything.

My style: I think I dress too old for my age. I’d say classic. When you get to this age you have to be careful not to dress too young.

Favourite Item: My Gucci coat that I bought four years ago. Cost me a fortune but it is so worth it. It’s one of those things where you get what you paid for. The military style’s been in for the past few seasons so it’s great that I get to wear it.
