Toronto native Lucian Matis, 28, landed in second place behind Evan Biddell, a 24-year-old designer from Saskatoon, on the finale of Project Runway Canada last night. Matis, Biddell, and third-placer Marie Genevieve Cyr showed ten-piece collections at Toronto's L'Oréal Fashion Week in October as the final challenge of the reality show. The runway shows were performed in front of an audience and evaluated by the Runway judges: supermodel Iman, Elle Canada Editor Rita Silvan, and Bustle Clothing's Shawn Hewson.

Starting September 1, the Hamilton television station known as CH will be rebranded as E! Entertainment Television. E! is an American entertainment and lifestyle cable broadcaster best known for its wildly successful E! True Hollywood Story series.

L’Oréal Fashion Week officially ends today, but for all intents and purposes it's already over. While work commitments kept us from attending most events, we've been following news coverage keenly and have assembled the following recap.

Torontoist is eagerly awaiting celebrity season—aka TIFF season—and this weekend we got a teeny preview of the many sightings to come.

Sorry George, but the reviews are in and the One just plain sucks. The ABC produced, CBC simulcasted Idol/Next Top Model/Big Brother mashup sucks so much that the National (which was actually bumped forward an hour) managed to get almost three times the number of viewers. The One just managed to pull 236,000 viewers compared to the National which pulled in a respectable 550,000+ viewers. Antonia Zerbisias goes on at length at the show's shortcomings.

It was inevitable - as Paula and Kelly begot Sass and Ryan (this isn't the time for Ross Petty jokes, but don't worry, we're cooking something up), so Tyra, Janice, and all those hoards of wonderfully bitch-faced girls will beget Alberta's Tricia Helfer and a politer, gentler legacy of wannabe models. City TV has announced that the search for Canada's Next Top Model is on. Any ladies over five foot seven (and between the ages of 18 and 27) who are so inclined may check out the hefty application - we especially like how they ask you to rate your current romantic relationship on a scale of 1 to 10. Torontoist has neither the inclination nor the sweater meat to embark on such a venture ourselves, but we do love a good Canadian catfight, so you can bet we'll be watching come spring.

over on CityTV. And producers are promising this season will be the bitchiest one yet. Super model turned drag queen Tyra Banks is back as host, along with a gaggle of "celebrity" judges.

In an effort to promote the new season of America’s Next Top Model on City TV, CityLine are running a model search of their own called Toronto’s Next Top Model. The winner gets an ‘opportunity’ to model on CityLine, be in a photo shot for FASHION Magazine, and even get represented by Elmer Olsen Modeling Management but with “no guarantee of term of contract or work.” Sure it’s mostly just a marketing gimmick but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun, right? They’re probably not looking for the next Estella Warren, but you never know. To apply you have to be a female resident of the GTA, over 18, and can’t be represented by a modelling agency. It probably helps if you’re really good looking too. Cityline will be showing the competition on March 11th and the winner will be announced on March 18th.
