Toronto Fashion Week started off strong yesterday, with runway presentations from hot tickets Pink Tartan, Sid Neigum and Mikhael Kale. The kick-off attracted plenty of veteran show-goers (people like buyers, bloggers and editors who attend season after season) intent on scoping out the best looks for next fall. We spotted more than a few high-powered industry insiders hanging out in David Pecaut Square—some of whom have attended the event since its inception—and asked them to tell us what exactly they haul around in their sleek clutches, handbags and totes. Here, the city’s stylish elite share their essentials for surviving Fashion Week (hint: they can’t live without their iPhones).
