Kristy: Hippie Chic

"I like to dress hippie-ish.  I do a lot of vintage shopping at thrift stores.  You don't have to spend a fortune on what you wear."

Karim Rashid: "Sensual Minimalism"

Renowned designer Karim Rashid stood out in Yorkville wearing this dynamic white ensemble.

Jessica

"My style can be described as 'spring time blossoming' -- colours, brightness, vivaciousness, but really classic at the same time.  Kate Middleton would be my ideal icon, as well as Grace Kelly and a little bit of flair with Marilyn Monroe."

While shooting these photographs of Jessica, I had an extreme case of déjà vu.  As it would appear, I had good reason to feel that way.  2 years ago, I coincidentally shot Jessica in virtually the same spot on Bloor Street West.

Rebecca: Laid-Back Sunday

"My style is laid-back.  I don't like wearing over-sized clothing.  I prefer wearing clothes that embody femininity."

Vlad the Entertainer

"My style can be called 'new wave 80's meets goth-rock'.  I like clothes that are androgynous and reminiscent of the alternative underground scene.  Bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure and Sisters of Mercy influence me."

Vlad is currently busy fronting for 2 bands, Avant-Cool & Breeding Ground, and will be releasing material in the near future.

Zubaida: Baduizm Style

"Singer Erykah Badu inspires my style because she's free-spirited and I'm all about that."

Chris: "Relaxed" in Roncesvalle

"My style is "simple and relaxed".

Here & Nao

Nao is the owner of Vintage Mix 1 -- a popular vintage store at 186 Ossington Avenue.

"I love Christian Dior 50's-style.  My store specializes in vintage accessories and clothing from the 60's to 80's."

Derrick: Style Legacy

"My look is fashionable and easy.  My father inspired my style.  He was always focussed on details and I carried-on his tradition."

Scott: "Classic Comfortable"

Alina: April Showers

Alina quickly caught my attention riding her bike in the pouring rain on Queen Street West.  

"I wear whatever's comfortable and spontaneous.  My sister has a huge influence on my style.  I'm always grabbing clothes from her closet."

Dushyan: The Colour of Style

"My style is best described as modern, chic and elegant.  My fashion-sense was first inspired by my mother, who is a designer.  She taught me how to use colours in order to complement features, moods and environments.  I think a lot of men play it safe with colour -- not me.  I think that's why I stand out.  Sadly, men don't accessorize as much as they should."

Laura & Griffin

"My style is New York inspired.  Clean lines -- nothing too flashy. Simple and classic."

Erika: Miley Cyrus Style

"I like to dress it up a notch with skirts and dresses.  Miley Cyrus is my inspiration.  She's a celebrity who's easy to emulate because she doesn't wear a lot of expensive brands."

Paul: Dapper in the Fashion District

"My style is a mixture of luxury, vintage and everyday street-wear.  I love John Varvatos' designs, Prada footwear and David Beckham's style."

Jessica: Colour Splash

"I'm a chameleon -- I wear everything from punk, rockabilly, metal and ball gowns.  It's not what you wear, it's how you wear it and the confidence that you bring with it."

Armida: In the Mood for Fun

"I put on what I feel would match my mood -- whatever's fun."

Check out Armida's column for Trend Hunters covering fashion and advertising trends.

Eva & James: Middle-Eastern Flair

"Years ago, I travelled through Beirut so my style is very much influenced by the Middle East.  From this head-dress I'm wearing, I'm saying warfare ends and wardrobe begins."

Erika: Girlie with an Edge

"I'm a mix of girlie and hard edge.  It's embarrassing to say, but I'm influenced by Mary-Kate's style -- even though she's an Olsen twin."

Joseph: "Everyday's An Inspiration"

"My style is eclectic, bright and fun.  I'm often inspired by day-to-day people.  Everyday's an inspiration."
