The 13th edition of the International Fashion Encounter served globally-inspired looks to a local audience at Mercedes-Benz Downtown Toronto, and both the party and the style was nothing short of spectacular. Twelve new collections celebrated global trends and offered an iconic focus on local talent, and the entire event supported charitable partner Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. The runway even featured models affected by Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis with ostomy bags. Check out the vibe inside the charitable fashion show.
