You be the judge as couture meets cars in the "Taking Style to the Edge Challenge" leading up to L'Oreal Fashion Week in Toronto. Selected fashion designers are now showcasing their creations on-line, inspired by the Ford Edge crossover utility vehicle, to vie for the Ford Fashion Award and a top prize of $5,000. Everyone is invited to choose the winning design by voting for their favourite look at www.fordstyle.ca. The top three designs are featured on the website, along with descriptions from each of the designers: David Dixon, David Smith, and Engelbert Gayagoy. Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited and the Fashion Design Council of Canada teamed up to create this contest to offer fashion designers another opportunity to display their work. "We ran a contest featuring the Ford Edge around L'Oreal Fashion Week this spring and Canadians came to the website in droves," said Reg Modjeski, manager, partnerships and events, Ford of Canada. "Almost 4,000 fashionistas logged on to cast their votes and help us choose the winning design, so we expect the competition to be fierce again this time." With the contest closing October 23, 2007, people have just a few days to log onto www.fordstyle.ca and submit their votes to honour a Canadian designer with the Ford Fashion Award at L'Oreal Fashion Week. $ 1.

Now is the perfect time to prepare your car before the first arctic blast hits. Spending a little time now may save you from being stranded along an icy road in January. To get your car ready, there are some critical items that need to be checked. This doesn't have to be a time consuming process, and you don't have to do it all yourself.
