What was the most memorable thing you had done this year with your blog? Why?
This year has been such a whirlwind for us with the blog. As it has expanded and reached a greater audience we have had the chance to fulfill a lot of our goals and aspirations. Getting to meet great fashion icons like Jeanne Beker and Robin Kay, as well as getting the chance to hang out with rising Canadian designers and talent are some moments that are at the top of our list.

Marc

How do you view the fashion scene in Toronto right now?
Toronto fashion, like much of Canada, may not be as fashion forward as, say, Europe, but we are growing everyday. With great designers and stylists, bloggers and great outlets like LG Fashion Week, all the wheels are in motion. To get Toronto's fashion scene credited on a world platform will take a lot of hard work and dedication from all aspects of the industry.

Richard

What are you aiming to achieve with your blog in 2011?

Hopefully, with Toronto Is Fashion in 2011, we are still able to offer our readers and insiders look to fashion events throughout the city and an awareness of the work from Canadian designers. In the new year, we plan to offer our readers more styling and wardrobe content, as well as more interactive media materials.

Tomorrow we are going to have our interview with Mike Lewis, stay tune!
