In the tenth grade, my friends and I had to dress up in 1940s garb for our history class. I remember how mortified I was wearing my mom’s vintage blazer with obnoxiously large shoulder pads, thinking that my outfit would be mistaken for a Halloween costume of Frankenstein.

The romper first appeared in 1910 as playwear for younger children, particularly boys. It is believed to have originated from the bloomer, and is known as the first “true” play suit. …

I am a devout Project Runway Canada fan, verging on obsession. So you can imagine how excited I was to be volunteering for LG Fashion Week during the Finale taping. Although I was stationed in the Media Lounge, I had something different in mind.
My mission: to see Iman live in the flesh and to hug Sunny Fong, my favourite contestant on the show.
In a desperate attempt to get in, I begged the girl guarding the door to the show, telling her I was a volunteer, but I just didn’t have …
