I have personal relationships with many designers and am fortunate to have access to rare and special pieces that are offered to me as one-offs or by special order. I love color! Shoes, Various Designers

I keep only one or two seasons in my present closet, the rest is put away [in storage]. I label all boxes with a photo and try to color coordinate everything; I am a neat freak. Spring/Summer is my favorite season, my closet becomes full of color and my clothes seem to come to life! The other half of my closet is all black…easy dressing! All, Various Designers

I love traditional old world French design in furniture and architecture, it is timeless, elegant and oh so very feminine. I am always inspired by the Ritz in Paris.

I love a girly handbag! Feminine lines in furniture, chandeliers, and décor are what stand out in our home. My home is filled with soft, inviting colors in all the rooms, with big fireplaces that [convince] you to stay awhile. Bag, Hermes

I am a collector of all McQueen. There are many pieces I have that have never been worn and are like pieces of art in my closet that one day will be incredible vintage pieces. The drapery and the folding of the jackets and dresses suit my style of dress. I love to be feminine, even if it’s sometimes with a bit of an edge. That’s how I describe my McQueen style. All, Alexander McQueen

This is a Dolce & Gabbana demi-couture dress from Fall 2010; only one was made for the US. I love Giambattista Valli for Moncler, great fashion pieces for grey Canadian winters. Dress, Dolce & Gabbana; Jacket, Giambattista Valli x Moncler Gamme Rouge

Vivier will always be a timeless classic; they are my favorite clutches. I love the crystal buckles and the structured shape; so very feminine – they can make any outfit. All, Roger Vivier

I love the structure in the CHANEL handbags and the vast shapes and styles that are collectibles from season to season. These bags will always have a place in my closet! All, CHANEL

One of my most favorite pieces; bought for a CHANEL runway show in Paris but didn’t end up wearing it. Still have not worn it yet and keeps calling out to me every time I walk past her! All, CHANEL

Loved these rock and roll jackets. They are so tough yet so feminine with the crystal bows and crystal details. I love how Balmain does that balance of rocker chic. Jackets, Balmain

I LOVE this photo! I love COLOR COLOR!! I love FLORAL! I love PRETTY! Maxi Dress, Top and Skirt, Jonathan Saunders; Dress, Vivienne Westwood; Jacket, Mary Katrantzou

I loved this season [from] Jil Sander. I have a few of the maxi skirts from the S/S 2011 collection; I have no idea where I’m going to wear them yet but they give my closet a big burst of bright, happy color…they are fun to wear and stand out. Skirts, Jil Sander

Mary Katrantzou is my ultimate new favorite designer – I go crazy for her beautiful original prints; ultimate chic, such detail. I could never get bored of Mary being a staple in my closet! Some of these were custom done for me by her, I’m very lucky. Dresses, Mary Katrantzou; Necklaces, Lanvin

I have really been drawn to all the Brit designers in the past few years; such originals in their style. I love to try new looks and designers. I have no problem experimenting and seeing what can suit my style. Jackets, Christopher Kane

Erdem also has taken up some space in my closet-his look is so fresh, modern and feminine. Dress, Erdem; Bag, Miu Miu; Shoes, Nicholas Kirkwood

I have a small Nicholas Kirkwood obsession; love how they can make an outfit with such little effort. Pieces of art for the feet…I love clothes that reflect my personality; I want to wear the clothes, not the clothes wear me. Shoes, Nicholas Kirkwood x Rodarte

Keren [Craig] and Georgina [Chapman, of Marchesa] were gracious enough to accept my invitation to come to Toronto a do a stunning gala and runway show to benefit Sick Kids hospital and the Herbie Fund. I love to harness some of my great fashion relationships into something substantial and meaningful for others. We raised over $900k that night. A huge fashion success, but most importantly for the charities that benefit from it! Keren and Georgina are truly the kindest women and are very dear to me. Bag, Marchesa

Feminine yet modern, timeless fashion. I am a lover of Lanvin's large chunky neckpieces. Shoes, Chloé; Necklaces, Lanvin

I loved the faux crystal embellishment. Dresses up any outfit. Clutch, Prada

I loved the Ming print from [that] season. Rare pieces that will be fashion inspirations for years to come. Dress, Rodarte; Shoes, Nicholas Kirkwood x Rodarte

I love color from head to toe! I will wear bright colors even when I am 90. I love to express myself with color and patterns. It can be risky at times, but that’s what fashion is to me. L to R.
