Smaller is better? Believe it: this fashion season, everything's been downsized, from L'Oreal gift bags containing a single, travel-sized hair spray (minimalism?) to the teeny-tiny LG laptops in the Media Lounge—wait, make that "Filing Room." For journos surviving on Kit Kat Singles and huddling around mini-screens, it all feels a bit like a visual gag.

ART: It’s a big weekend for showcases of Canadian art. After a peek at the new Gehry-fied AGO, head over to MOCCA for the opening reception of "Carte Blanche." The exhibition is the accompaniment to a new reference book Carte Blanche, Vol. 2: Painting. The book showcases the work of 192 contemporary Canadian painters. Thirty of these (ten from each career stage—emerging, mid-level, and established) are showing at the companion gallery exhibit. Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (952 Queen Street West), 8 p.m., FREE.
