Not that you could call their take on the great Canadian pastime roughing it, despite the Budweiser 40s the models toted down the runway and the Band-Aids that presumably covered their bushwhacking wounds.

Their cutoff shorts, tees, and jean jackets came tarted up with sky-high neon patent-leather platform booties and gray hiking socks and were tweaked with plastic coverings—the better to stay dry in the wild, presumably.

Other outdoors gear also got the Caten treatment: A fly-fisherman's overall bib was spliced onto a T-shirt and decorated with the brand logo, while an evening dress was whipped together from a plaid wool blanket stitched to nude satin.

Also in the mix: a few party dresses that looked like prom material pinned here and there with dragonfly brooches and some smart signature outerwear. Only loosely inspired by the season's theme, the latter included a cropped butterscotch leather jacket and a color-blocked parka. Aside from items like those, it was hard to take much of the above seriously, but as usual, it was a heck of a lot of fun.
