We know what you’re thinking… Toronto doesn’t need another “Fashion Week,” or maybe you do. It’s debatable, we guess… But the good news is, this won’t be just another regular series of fashion shows or events, this one is for a great cause! An opportunity for Toronto socialites, philanthropists, fashionistas and aspiring fashionistas alike, to be peacocking for a cause. In fact, in support of SickKids Foundation, presented by Living Luxe Magazine.
But it’s not just a runway, it’s a whole series of events and activations…
Including a VIP celebrity chef dinner, a luxury silent auction (that’s already LIVE), and a runway show hosted by none other than Canadian fashion icon, Jeanne Beker, on November 17th. Later followed by a three-day fashion and design exhibition, encapsulating all things luxury and featuring more live fashion shows by notable Canadian designers that will take over the Thompson Landry Gallery & Fermenting Cellar inside the Distillery Winter Village, from November 18-20th.
The Cause
The funds raised for SickKids will go toward a new, first-in-Canada Cellular Therapy Facility where SickKids will harness the power of the immune system — using a patient’s own cells — to fight diseases like cancer.
