Virginia Johnson, 132 Ossington, 416-516-3366, virginiajohnson.com
Virginia Johnson has a grasp on her segment of the local clothing market, with chic cotton scarves and tunics she prints with colourful flora and fauna illustrations. But instead of sticking to her usual fashion shtick, she branched out this fall with a lineup of peony-print dresses and tweed bubble coats, earning our kudos for the collection of the season.
