If Part 1 of our favourite content creators list circled those reshaping fashion discourse, Part 2 is about those who understand dressing as authorship. Rather than circling the endless trend-driven churn of dressing for the algorithm, we’re interested in how a coherent sartorial language is sustained over time. These are creators for whom style operates as a form of thinking: how clothes move between gender, age, subculture, and everyday life without collapsing into costume or cliché. An understanding that “best dressed” has less to do with expense or access than it does with perspective and personal style.
Lexson Millington
Lexson’s approach to dressing sits comfortably in the in-between. His style takes menswear to creative heights, favouring play, elegance, and imagination without slipping into excess. Silhouettes are softened, proportions gently disrupted, and familiar references reworked with a light touch. There’s a sense of curiosity rather than performance at the core of his wardrobe. What makes Lexson compelling, however, is his restraint. He pushes boundaries subtly, allowing sophistication and whimsy to coexist without ever announcing the effort.
Lisa Corbo
Lisa Corbo has quietly become one of the most compelling examples of what it looks like to dress with age rather than against it. Her style resists the binary of “youthful” versus “mature,” opting instead for sharp tailoring, confident silhouettes, and a sumptuous play of texture and pattern. In an industry still fixated on anti-aging aesthetics, Corbo’s wardrobe feels self-possessed and unapologetically adult, not as a limitation, but as a strength. If one thing is for certain, Corbo is never afraid of looking ‘fabulous’.
Juliette Gariépy
Gariépy’s red carpet approach is often daring, whether she’s opting for barely-there Beautopie or leaning into looks that are knowingly performative. What distinguishes her style is not provocation for its own sake, but control. Even her most revealing or tongue-in-cheek moments are grounded in intention. When a dress quite literally reads “my body is a machine that turns my film career into my whole personality,” the gesture lands because of self-awareness rather than irony. It’s confidence paired with clarity, a willingness to take risks without losing authorship.
Roxy Navai
Roxy Navai’s aesthetic unapologetically embraces the visual codes of the early 2000s, but without irony or nostalgia as costume. Her styling feels lived-in, intuitive, and modern, grounded in a Y2K vocabulary and offset by deconstruction, and a tension between excess and chic minimalism. Her wedding looks alone cemented her place on this list: proof that personal style doesn’t need to be diluted for ceremony. Navai’s strength lies, above all, in her effortlessness, an ease that makes even her most referential looks feel instinctive rather than costume.
Spencer Badu
Spencer Badu’s personal style cannot be separated from his work as a designer. Together, they form a coherent vision of contemporary Canadian streetwear that feels culturally grounded rather than trend-responsive. His wardrobe balances structure and ease, heritage and futurity, masculinity and softness. What stands out is intentionality: every look feels considered, but never laboured. In a country still defining its fashion identity, Badu offers a clear and confident point of reference.
Biba Esaad
Biba’s style is quintessentially Toronto in its hybridity. A Y2K and editorial-inflected street style sensibility filtered through refined taste and a strong editorial eye. Her looks often play with contrast: polished and undone, referential yet current. What makes Biba compelling is not just aesthetic fluency, but consistency. Hers is a recognizable point of view that holds across contexts, platforms, seasons, from sidewalk to runway, favouring continuity over the churn of trends.
Stephan James
Stephan James’ style is rooted in sleek, contemporary menswear, sharpened by a subtle infusion of streetwear. His looks favour clean lines, modern tailoring, and controlled silhouettes, but never feel overly polished or remote. The streetwear influence acts as a grounding force, keeping the wardrobe current and lived-in rather than formal. What emerges is a sophistication that feels confident without spectacle, a balance between precision and ease that translates seamlessly across contexts.
Marie Gagné
Marie Gagné embodies a distinctly Québécoise approach to elegance. Her wardrobe is anchored in clean lines, restraint, and a fluid movement between menswear and womenswear. There’s a boldness and a confidence to her style, one that prioritizes cut, fabric, proportion, and continuity (her signature bold chunky frames are always a treat for the eyes). In an era dominated by maximalism and visual noise, Gagné’s looks feel composed, deliberate, and enduring.
Grece Ghanem
Grece Ghanem’s style operates at the intersection of elegance, play, and precision. Known for her fearless use of colour, proportion, and statement silhouettes, she approaches dressing as an extension of personality rather than trend adherence. Her looks are often bold without feeling loud, experimental without tipping into gimmick. What distinguishes Ghanem is her confidence in visibility. She embraces fashion as a form of self-expression that does not ask permission from age, expectation, or convention. In doing so, she reframes style as something expansive and joyful, where sophistication is inseparable from individuality.
Gabriel Lebleu
Gabriel Lebleu’s menswear sensibility occupies a space between preppy refinement and street-level ease. His styling often recalls a “Miu Miu boy” energy, but grounded in contemporary urban codes rather than runway fantasy. The result is playful without being precious, referential without being derivative and distinctly Montréalais in its ease and effortlessness. Lebleu’s strength lies in balance: an ability to mix softness and structure in ways that feel natural rather than styled for effect.
Binxie
Binxie’s style draws from Montreal’s underground with a knowing nod to indie sleaze. There are echoes of early-2010s irreverence, low-slung irony, and offhand “swag,” but filtered through a contemporary lens that keeps it self-aware rather than nostalgic. Think lo-fi textures, playful provocation, and a casual disregard for polish. The result feels referential without being stuck in revival mode. Binxie isn’t chasing a moment so much as reactivating an attitude, one that treats dressing as instinctive, unserious, and quietly defiant.
Sadboi
Sadboi’s style is bold, unapologetic, and rooted in a distinct visual language. Her looks lean into skin-baring silhouettes, long braids, furs, mini skirts, and tube tops. What makes her compelling is how naturally this aesthetic reads in the present. It feels lived-in, embodied, and socially fluent rather than costume-driven. As one of Toronto’s most recognizable style figures, Sadboi’s wardrobe reflects the city’s particular mix of confidence, excess, and cultural cross-pollination; daring, expressive, and unafraid to take up space.
Taylor Ahn
Taylor Ahn’s style sits at the intersection of chic minimalism and avant-garde experimentation. There’s an unmistakably Parisian sensibility to her wardrobe, one rooted in restraint, precision, and an intuitive understanding of silhouette, but always punctured by an unexpected twist. Dark romanticism, elongated lines, and textural tension anchor her style, lending her looks a sense of restraint and quiet drama.
