TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
By CJ Ramsaran
In the City of Toronto, the month of September not only marks the unofficial end to summer and back-to-school; it also marks the unofficial beginning of the Toronto International Film Festival, more affectionately known as TIFF!
There is no denial the City goes through an overall transformation, giving new meaning to the term Hollywood North. The air is filled with buzz and bravado of the red carpet; satisfaction in securing that much coveted spot for celebrity watching; the chance to meet those same celebrities and filmmakers; ample photo ops; exclusive screenings for film lovers; and of course a platform for industry professionals to come together as one.
My dear friends, welcome to Toronto and welcome to TIFF!
No matter your taste in film, there is bound to be something for every viewer and audience - documentaries, thrillers, love and romance, live cinema, silent film – you name it, it is included in this year’s offerings. Be sure to make your selections and ticket purchases from the onset, or you are sure to be disappointed. Reports indicate tickets are moving very quickly, with many screenings are already sold out.
The ten day festival promises appearances from some of the most renowned actors and actresses including: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Clive Owen, Gerard Butler; Michelle Yeoh, Freida Pinto, Rachael Weisz , Ryan Gosling, Salma Hayek, Woody Harrelson, and many more.
Filmmakers taking centre stage with their world premiers include: Davis Guggenheim, Francis Ford Coppola, Alexander Payne, Agnieszka Holland, Guy Maddin, Luc Besson, Bill Duke, Oren Moverman, Malgoska Szumowska, Bennett Miller, Darrell Roodt, Sarah Polley, Jessica Yu, Michael Winterbottom and Werner Herzog. Countless others will also be in attendance.
Like many star-studded events, TIFF wouldn’t be complete without everyone partying like rock stars in the presence of U2, Pearl Jam, and Neil Young. Harry Connick JR, Lupe Fiasco, Melanie Fiona, and Kardinal Official will also be in town performing at special musical events September 9th and 10th in support of OneXOne Foundation – a registered charity committed to supporting, preserving, and improving the lives of children.
2011 marks the 36th anniversary of the festival. Festival organizers continue to out-do themselves. Each year, baring witness to more pageantry and pomp and circumstance than the last.
As originally called in 1976, TIFF truly is “The Festival of Festivals”.

By Eva Fydrych
ABOUT SENTALER
ALPACA FABRIC
Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of the fashion photoshoot? Last month Fashion Studio was invited to take part in SENTALER Fall 2011 catalogue and campaign shoot. Bojana Sentaler - a talented fashion designer who is the founder of this Toronto based label - was great at directing the whole team and making sure that everything went according to the schedule.
The photoshoot took place in family Dujsic’s luxurious house in Lorne Park, southwestern Mississauga, on Saturday, July 16th, and was conducted by a fashion photographer Mario Miotti, whose previous work could be seen in magazines like Elle Canada.

ABOUT SENTALER
The SENTALER brand was established in 2009 by Bojana Sentaler, whose own international lifestyle and keen sense of aesthetics are reflected in her collection. After obtaining her business degree from the prominent Schulich School of Business in Toronto and gaining experience in the marketing field, Bojana began a journey around the world to explore her true talent and passion for design and fashion. Throughout those years, Bojana admired fashion trends and lifestyle in different countries that she visited or resided in, from Europe to Middle East, Asia and South America. Inspired by the diverse vibrancy and beauty of her journeys, Bojana created SENTALER, a signature fashion label that symbolizes luxury and elegance.
The SENTALER collection specializes in outerwear. Bojana uses extraordinary fine fabrics like alpaca and vicuña, and creates refined modern cuts paying close attention to detail. Each SENTALER piece is precisely crafted with hand finishes and is known for its soft-silky feel and high visual appeal. As a luxury brand, SENTALER pieces are made in limited production, thus offering exclusivity and uniqueness to its clients. Suitable for different occasions, the SENTALER collection is dedicated to the modern, classy and sophisticated women and men, who enjoy glamour and refinement.
ALPACA FABRIC
All SENTALER pieces are made from natural fine fabrics. SENTALER coats and capes are soft and silky to the touch, with a rich handle and sensual drape. The main fabric used in the collections is alpaca, a specialist organic fiber, which is harvested by shearing a Peruvian alpaca animal. Raised at high altitudes in freezing Andes, alpaca animals have developed microscopic air pockets in their fiber, which provide thermal insulation. As a result, SENTALER outerwear is lighter and warmer than wool and cashmere. SENTALER alpaca coats are resilient - they will not easily mat, pill, stain, lose shape nor color. Unlike wool, alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin, thus acting very comfortable, especially for sensitive skin. Alpaca fiber is extremely strong and durable, resembling silk. SENTALER collection is mainly made of baby alpaca, which comes from the first shearing of a young alpaca. This is the softest and most desired fiber. SENTALER also carries pieces made of Suri alpaca, which contain longer, rich-looking hair and are very silky and lustrous.

Rachel is planning to launch her own collection, that will include accessories, shoes, and apparel, in the fall of 2011.
Rachel's distinctive fashion style is often referred to as a "boho-chic" look: oversized jewellery and sunglasses, loose-fitting dresses and shirts, fur vests; prints, florals, and bright colors paired with earthy tones. The look, based strongly on bohemian and hippie influences, had its height in 2004/05 and was associated particularly with Sienna Miller and Kate Moss in the United Kingdom and Nicole Richie and Olsen twins in the United States. Boho is all about looking individual and natural, stylish yet comfortable. More about the look: Boho-chic.
“I don't believe in changing my style because something's a trend ... People are mislead: They think because it's a trend, they should do it. And it's not going to work.” - Rachel Zoe
