WHO: Saira Zia, women’s sportswear buyer at Holt Renfrew (50 Bloor West, 416-922-2333), fashion committee member for Fashion Cares
WHERE: Bay and Charles
WHEN: Monday afternoon
CLOTHING: “My blue heels are from Stella Luna ($24, 1627 Queen West, 416-536-7300). I bought the pantyhose from Holt Renfrew ($20) and the orange T-shirt from Ukula ($48, 492 College, 416-619-9282). Underneath that I’m wearing a grey dress from H&M ($29, 1 Dundas West, 416-593-0064, and others). I got this black belt in L.A. The bag is by Anna Corinna and was $400 at Holt’s. I also have a vintage grey bag ($30) from Stella Luna. I got the scarf that’s tied around the bag in Paris at a flea market. My jacket ($400) is by Marc by Marc from Holt’s. The bracelet on my left hand is by him, too. I got it in L.A. I made the broken key necklace – I had some scrap fabric lying around and my friend Ian gave me the key. My earrings were a total find at a friend’s garage sale for $2. The big black ring on my left hand is from my friend Nicole. My brother gave me the big black bracelet.”
HAIR: “Diana at Brunette (6 Westmoreland, 416-362-3547).”
MY STYLE: “Unconventional, a mix of high and low.”
INTO: “Riding my bike around the city vintage shopping supporting local talent volunteering with Fashion Cares, which raises money for AIDS research. The theme of this year’s amazing event is Peep (Saturday, May 12, Distillery District, 55 Mill, $175, 416-870-8000) – think neo-burlesque with a bit of David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust and Barbarella. It’s important to give back to the community, especially when it involves such a great cause.”
