Being the true fashion victim that I am, despite Toronto's current cold spell I refuse to dress accordingly.  After all, it wasn't long ago that I was in Rio de Janeiro complaining of the heat.  42 degrees was a challenge for this fair producer, but despite the obstacles it was tough not to fall in love with Rio.  A sweet hotel on the beach and front row seats at all the shows helped.  Check out some highlights below and stay tuned to FT for full coverage in coming weeks!
