1995-96 

Ryerson’s Hub Café was the venue for a sneak peak of a third-year student’s fashion line “Parousia.” I have to say, I’ve seen a lot of throwback vintage looks from influencers on Instagram, but I have never seen someone try to attach suspenders to a skirt. Innovative.

This woman is giving me prime The Devil Wears Prada vibes. We rate the chic cheetah print cardigan and messy bun a 13/10.
