Then again...
Snow falling gently in fashion week. #welcometocanada #WMCFW http://instagr.am/p/XC90cjxAhQ/Leesa ButlerIs a blizzard hitting on the first day of fashion week a hot new trend, or is just when I attend? #nyfw #WMCFWGracie CarrollAnother fashion week, another blizzard. Can't deal. #wmcfw #torontoKENTON magazineHas it always been this cold and snowy during #WMCFW? BoooooJessyLeft the tents tonite greeted by old man winter. Thought he had retired #wmcfwnsharona1Buyers, editors, publicists, models, bloggers and enthusiasts alike arrived to the freshly-erected white tents at David Pecault Square in downtown Toronto yesterday for the first of many fashion shows this week.The always cool @StaceyMckenzie1 dressed for the weather enroute to TO Fashion Week!

"@tweetoffthecuff: .@deirdre_kelly has coined a term for bathroom options at #WMCFW. "The Ritz Run.""Deirdre KellyFor street style photographers, whose job it is to snap photos of fashionable attendees outside the tents, the wintry weather is more than an inconvenience.Thank you to everyone who brought me gloves/coats/warm things yesterday. Today, I promise to dress for the weather. #streetstyle #wmcfw.Ashley RoweBecause designers typically work about six months ahead of the season, fashion weeks are held opposite to the time of year they're celebrating on the calendar.

This fact makes the gust of winter weather during World MasterCard Fashion Week Fall / Winter 2013 ironically appropriate.
It appears mother nature got the memo about FW2013. The clothing matches the weather. #WMCFWAngie TingasGot my @Pixie_Mood carry-all and heading to #wmcfw, winter attire and all! Got to love unpredictable #toronto weather!Rebecca RichardsonBest of luck to all my friends preparing for #WMCFW and remember; seeing fall-winter on the catwalks means SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!PopCulture Rainman™ Weather simply optimistic or dead-set on wearing the clothes they'd preselected (or packed) for the week, many people decided to ignore the sidewalk slush.
Only the most practical shoes for the winter weather;) #wmcfw http://instagr.am/p/XDW276Ox64/She's So SavvyWho needs the gym when your walking with high shoes on ice! #fashiongirlproblems #WMCFWVictoria SimpsonHere comes the snow. Urgh. Pretty lucky Sean let me have the car today. These shoes were not made for walking. #WMCFWCASIE STEWARTOthers are donning full-out (yet fashionable) winter wear.
