Erik: "I Gotta Embrace the Whole White Guy Thing"

"I kinda just go for whatever I think will work with whatever. My main inspirations are 50's black turtlenecks, velvet underground, Lou Reed, Beetles, and old-school rock 'n' roll. I also have an appreciation for musicians who mix masculinity with femininity in their style."

Brian & Isabel

"My style tries to balance work and park appropriate. For the summer that means slightly oversized shirts, and slim, cropped pants paired with black oxfords or tan brogues."

"I don't really know that much about fashion, but I like clean lines and simple patterns -- nothing too ornate. My parents are from Hong Kong, so I get to travel there pretty often and shop. I got this blouse from there."

Jessica

"My clothes are comfortable, functional, and always fashionable."

Kevin's Street Etiquette

"My style is influenced by the guys at STREET ETIQUETTE. I like the neatness and the vintage aspect of the clothes featured on their style blog."

Kim: Rock 'N' Roll Street Style

"My style is usually pretty buttoned up, but we're going to a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert after dinner -- so this is my rock 'n' roll look."

Lianne

"My grandmother's love for 1920's Shanghai fashion is sometimes a place of inspiration for me -- but not today. She had very refined tastes."

I previously shot Lianne's street style last summer.

Nicole: Vintage on Wheels

"I like vintage and classic finds. Some of my favourite vintage stores are Tribal Rhythm and Black Market on Queen Street West. I also get a lot of inspiration from fashion blogs and people who wear vintage."

Fuan

"My style is really British inspired. I work for Topshop and Topman so my fashion tends to stick with those brands."

Nicole

"My style is simple, professional and classic. Actress Diane Kruger inspires my style because she looks amazing and gets it every time."

Jason

Naomi

"I buy all secondhand and I only wear all natural fabrics like silk, cotton and wool. Tilda Swinton in I Am Love inspires me with her wardrobe designed by Jil Sander."

Grace: "Glamourous, Darling"

"My style is glamourous, darling. Zsa Zsa Gábor inspires me because she's a lady and Hungarian like me."

Shane: Thom Browne Chic

"My style today is very much inspired by the Thom Browne Lookbook for Spring/Summer 2013. The short pants... the smoking slippers -- they're more chic than the heavy Oxford that you're seeing a lot nowadays. Thom Browne's style is simple and comfortable. It doesn't look fussy. I never want to look fussy. Men's wear doesn't need to be fussy."

Shane's James Dean look previously appeared on TorontoVerve just last fall.

Cherissa: "Funky & Dangerous"

"My style is a little preppy, hippy and Montreal. The Montreal look is funky -- it has more danger and flair to it than Toronto. I get fashion inspiration from any fine looking Black woman walking down the street, on TV or in the music industry. Of course, I love my Beyonce. My style is like hers, but with a tomboy kick to it."

Chris: Style & Alchemy

"My style is patterned after 80's music and film culture."

Chris paints, designs and occassionally models.

Chris' website, Chris Cann Paint, showcases his acrylic paintings on mixed media canvases such as other panel, found wood and actual canvas. He describes his paintings as "post impressionism mixed with symbolism." According to Chris, "those two things combined are important because now a lot of things lack interest and meaning.  Some artists push modern and contemporary, but it's already been done, and I find it cold. It's also a bit of alchemy -- finding things and working with them--like food and art. It all comes together. And, no one should purchase anything. Things should be half found and half purchased; otherwise, it takes away the innovation."

Inga

"I'm half German and Danish so my style is very Scandinavian-inspired."

Camila

Ron: Urban Street Style

Now that the weather's getting warmer, I've been seeing a lot of TorontoVerve's past street stylers walking about -- still looking fashionable. I shot Ron's cool urban look just last summer.

"My style is very Asian influenced -- mostly from Korea."

Kendra

Curbside Cycle on Bloor is my store of choice when it comes to servicing my bike, and it was during my recent visit when Kendra's sharp appearance quickly caught my attention. Kendra is one Curbside's courteous staff and she was gracious to pose for TorontoVerve with this dashing Linus bike.

Kendra: "I like functional apparel. I try to go for simple and practical while still feeling put together. Hair is important to me -- I like having something that's clean and easy to maintain. Overall, I like to look comfortable but not sloppy."

Kendra also had some good things to say about the bike.

"It's a Linus -- the line is Dutchi. It has a nice relaxed and upright frame with a 3-speed internal hub. It's a nice good looking ride."

Madeleine: "Femme Fatale Meets Glam Rocker"

"Actress Barbara Stanwyck and rocker David Bowie inspire my style because they're fabulous divas and they don't give a shit."

Coincidentally, we've captured Madeleine's vintage street style last winter in Kensington Market.

Obrian: Anime Street Style

"I just dress the way I feel. Sometimes I might dress urban trendy -- sometimes baggy or classy. I love anime or Japanese animation. Anime characters' style have no limits and that inspires me."

Garrett, Sheldon & Brodie: Annex Street Style

Garrett: "I shop at a lot of vintage stores and base my style off fashion blogs."

Sheldon: "I like to wear blazers with loose fit T's and skinnies. Lookbook inspires my style."

Brodie: "I like denim and I stay away from colour."
