TORONTO—The 2009 Heart Truth Fashion show, bringing together as it did some of Canada’s top celebrities and designers, was a big success all around.
Put on by the Heart and Stroke Foundation as part of Toronto’s LG Fashion Week, the fashion show sought to raise awareness about the growing risk of heart disease and stroke among women.
Marilyn Denis, host of CityLine on Citytv, and R&B sensation Kreesha Turner, were just two of over twenty of the country’s most celebrated women who walked the runway in original red dress designs by top Canadian fashion designers.
Denis, the last model of the show, disco-danced down the runway sporting a red pant suit designed by Toronto’s Farley Chatto. Elaine ‘Lainey’ Lui, one of Canada’s favorite gossip bloggers and eTalk reporters, emerged full of enthusiasm wearing an off the shoulder Evan Biddell dress.
“I love the dress so much; it’s something that I feel is really me. I don’t think it’s a dress 10 out of 10 people that you poll are going to love, but it’s me. Evan Biddell—he is a genius, he’s s great. I love it!” said Lui.
