No one knows more about crossing fashion lines than Vancouver’s own Kim Cathers, who ruffled more than skirts during her time on the second season of Project Runway Canada.
“Good gay fashion is the same as straight fashion,” Cathers says. “Don’t wear Ed Hardy and act like a douchebag. Or maybe that’s just good life advice. Either way you should abide.”
For those at a loss for what to wear this Pride, Cathers recommends crinoline, sparkles, big massive shoes, feathers or a parasol. She advises everyone to “go big, go bold, find amazing shoes, and don’t forget to dance baby, dance!”

Designer Kendra Francis is going digital as she broadens her brand with new ventures.
The Project Runway Canada alum behind Toronto-based luxury apparel brand Franke is launching web boutique L.A.B.
In addition, Franke will join other Toronto-based designers as part of an iPhone app called Stylefile.
