Toronto Fashion Week: Despite the wall-to-wall crowds, the start of Toronto World Master Card Fashion Week show is generally a slow burn, with things not getting properly fired up until at least day 2. However, the parade of the fall/winter 2012 fashion week collections show – again held in the city’s David Pecaut Square – started out with a bang, or rather, a tap. A jovial tap dancer kicked off Holt Renfrew’s biannual fashion week show with some of its favorite homegrown labels, coaxing smiles out of even the front row’s poker faces here in Toronto Canada. – - See more Fashion Week show

Lady Gaga’s Workshop Opens 11:59 tonight at Barney’s ... see You there!

 

Admit it, you want your picture taken in Gaga’s mouth. Get one of those foam fingers people take to sports games and you could really get creative with it.

------------------------------------------

Eff you, Black Friday! And eff you, too, Brown Thursday! Today is Rainbow Tuesday! That’s the name that the opening of Gaga’s Workshop at Barneys, occurring at 11:59 this evening, should rightly if arbitrarily lend to the day. Gaga is supposed to be there to officiate things, so hopefully she can be on time since the marketing so delicately hinges on the 11:59 time stamp. Apparently in addition to a “click-to-hatch version of Lady Gaga in her famous Hussein Chalayan egg from the Grammy Awards,” the Gaga-themed shop-in-shop, curated by her stylist Nicola Formichetti along with Barneys creative director Dennis Freedman, contains food. – – courtesy of NYmag - By Amy Odell
