On Friday, April 20, the 2018 Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards were held at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto. This year marked the fifth anniversary of the annual awards show, which celebrates homegrown talent in fashion and design. Real Style was in attendance for the CAFA red carpet, cocktail reception and after party, for a true celebratory evening of Canadian style.

This week, the second day of runway shows at Yorkdale Shopping Centre’s FashionCAN showcase revealed another round of stellar Canadian collections. The event, which was presented in partnership with the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards, continued to impress with its runway presentations.

From a bold first impression from emerging designer Paola Gamero to an energetic closing show at Greta Constantine, here’s our report from under the tents at David Pecaut Square.
