Attendees were herded in to for the opener, a fashion show hosted by retailer Holt Renfrew. &#8220;There&#8217;s No Place Like Holts, Celebrating Canadian Fashion,&#8221; featured Spring\/Summer 2012 selections from top Canadian designers including Jeremy Laing, Smythe, Naked &amp; Famous, Twenty Cluny, Denis Gagnon, Dennis Merotto, Wings + Horns, and Lida Baday. Juma followed in the studio, with Arthur Mendon\u00e7a stealing the night just prior to Lala Berlin&#8217;s SS12 show.<br \/>\nIt was Mendon\u00e7a&#8217;s long awaited return to fashion after a hiatus in Italy that the crowd was waiting for. Together with a surprise special guest appearance by Bosnian Herzegovinian androgynous supermodel Andrej Pejic, the tent lit up. As a political refugee of the Bosnian War, Pejic moved from a refugee camp in Bosnia to Australia when he was eight years old. Less than ten years later he was scouted while working at a fast food restaurant in Melbourne. Talk about a twist of fate. He&#8217;s recently walked for both the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s shows in Paris for Jean Paul Gaultier and just did the men&#8217;s in New York City for Marc Jacobs. The sometimes guy, sometimes girl&#8217;s star is rising as he&#8217;s growing in demand on both catwalks. Luxsure was lucky enough to sneak a spot in between Fashion Television and Entertainment Tonight for a quick interview with Pejic.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/AndrejTile1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/AndrejTile1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"AndrejTile1\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29131 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/AndrejTile1.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/AndrejTile1-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 630\/420;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29130\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wDSCN0665-630.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29130\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wDSCN0665-630.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"wDSCN0665-630\" width=\"630\" height=\"473\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29130 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wDSCN0665-630.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/wDSCN0665-630-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 630px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 630\/473;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29130\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Backstage at LG Fashion Week - Arthur Mendon\u00e7a and Andrej Pejic<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto&#8217;s LG Fashion Week kicked off last night in a shadow of the venue that once was.
