Richard Branson and Kate Hudson Toast Virgin Unite at Vision Co’s Luxury Lounge

Glowing: Justin and Sophie Trudeau Expecting Baby No. 2!

Where does Sir Richard Branson host his Canadian friends? Jordan Bitove’s Luxury Lounge at Lobby in Yorkville. Created by Bitove’s Vision|Co., Luxury Lounge is a new addition to this year’s festival. A quiet place for celebrity cocktails, film studio dinners, media interviews, and after-parties, the venue attracted Branson to host his Virgin Unite Celebrity Lunch. He introduced his Virgin Unite award recipients Kate Hudson and Petra Nemcova to his high-profile philanthropic VIPs in the Luxury Lounge’s sumptuous space.

ASC PR’s Suzanne Cohon and Alexandra Weston ignited a branding coup for sponsors Pierre-Jouet and Motorola by keeping Vision Co’s TIFF affairs exclusive and elegant. The consummate PR pros posed with a beaming Sophie and Justin Trudeau.

Others items on the itinerary - the pre-party for Management, starring Jennifer Aniston, as well as the One X One Pre-Party with Matt Damon, Wyclef Jean and John Legend.

Vision Co. head Jordan Bitove and his wife Nicole host Richard Branson in style.

The crown jewel, literally, of the Luxury Lounge is Nicholas Mellamphy’s Wardrobe Lounge. Competition for inclusion is fierce as Mellamphy curates the best in emerging design talent: Lucullen, Nada, Afshin Feiz, Dean Davidson, Mikhael Kale and the meteor-on-the-rise genius of the Greta Constantine label. Celebrities outfitted by the lounge include Mena Suvari, Lisa Ray, Andre 3000 and Uma Thurman. For your own taste of Mellamphy’s luxurious style, visit his MOMA-esque store Hazel on the first floor of The Hazelton Hotel in Yorkville.

Hazel is the only place in Toronto where a shoe lover can unite with such sought-after labels as Courtney Crawford, Bruno Frisoni and Giambattista Valli. We love these Courtney Crawford shoes, shop for couture shoes at here.

While Sarah Jessica Parker was Busy Being Carrie, Matthew Broderick was Busy Being “Busy”

“Matty Cakes” was Getting “Sex In the City”, but not with SJP

We here at ShoeMinx Headquarters were saddened and shocked to hear that one of our favorite, most fabulous fashion idols is dealing with a fate worse than death: the knowledge that Ferris Bueller cheated on her. Apparently while she was filming Sex and the City: The Movie, Mr. Broderick was seen making late-night house calls to another woman. And apparently the other woman’s pet name for Broderick is… wait for it… “Matty Cakes”. First Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon, and now this!
Though we never really understood why a powerhouse like her was married to a man who we all assumed was gay, we have to ask the question - who does that guy think he is? His great accomplishment: playing a lazy, arrogant teenager twenty years ago in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Her great accomplishments: revolutionizing women’s television as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, and bringing her famous and fierce fashion to the masses in her affordable clothing line, Bitten.

…oh, and doing it all in unbelievable super high-heels.
So here is our message to SJP: thank you for being your wonderful, powerful, and iconic self. We are sorry that excuse of a man you are married to is such a loser. Know that you have changed our fashion lives and given us the bravery to be moguls in our own worlds and look fabulous doing it.
We’re still drooling over your unbelievably gorgeous photo shoot with Chris Noth in June’s Vogue – particularly those super hot silver and black Chanel pumps in the museum picture – and can’t wait until you ditch the zero and get with a hero… Is Jason Lewis single?
