IN Toronto magazine

You’d be forgiven for thinking this vivacious blonde, Carolyn Quinn, associate producer of LG Fashion Week, belonged on the catwalk. But she’s more of a mover and shaker behind the scenes. She makes it all happen by keeping the Fashion Week machine running smoothly. Carolyn always tempers her classic Grace Kelly looks with a touch of whimsy or a nod to edgier looks.

Q&A What are you wearing?
Pink Tartan pants, Yves St Laurent cardigan, Adrienne Landau fur vest and Valentino shoes (I’m bummed they didn’t make it into the photo).

What items of clothing can you not live without?
My vintage handbags from my grandmother. I rarely use them. I have them displayed in my library. They are beautiful works of art.

If money were no object what would be your fashion purchase?
Shoes, bags, dresses, coats… shall I go on?

What’s the difference between style and fashion?
Fashion is Lady Gaga, style is Grace Kelly. 

Fave designer internationally?
Yves St Laurent.

What should every guy or girl buy this season?
Canadian! I try to wear something by one of our Canadian designers everyday. We have so much design talent in this country.
