When you say "Canadian Fashion" most people assume that you are talking about the international fashion hub, Vancouver. (Relax, Montreal, we know you're there. And if this was about you, we would have said "Quebecois Fashion.") Even though Vancouver is the reigning Canadian capital of runway shows and design houses, the truth is that Toronto has its own an unexpectedly vibrant street fashion culture. There's even a site dedicated to chronically the outfits of budding Canuck street fashionistas called Toronto Street Fashion.

For a city that spends half of the year beneath the ground in network of tunnels, the above-ground streets have a great deal of flair. Then again, I suppose the city needs to make up for January somehow – and that might as well be done by donning a pair of crazy green short-shorts in sunny July.
