In their first official sponsorship of World MasterCard Fashion Week, the Toronto Eaton Centre (TEC) will be putting on a pop-up lounge! To launch the space, the TEC and Toronto Fashion Incubator will be hosting iconic Canadian designer David Dixon for a Q&A with blogger/ stylist queen Erica Wark at noon on Friday, October 17. They’ll discuss the nation’s clothing industry, what it’s like to be a successful designer, and how Mr. Dixon keeps being so fabulous season after season. Following the event, a curated collection of David’s designs will remain in the lounge to further inspire the talents of tomorrow.
“World MasterCard Fashion Week continues to be Canada’s leading fashion week, providing a platform for our country’s designers to share their collections with the world,” said Meredith Vlitas, Senior Marketing Director, Toronto Eaton Centre. “Through our sponsorship, we’re bringing fashion week to our shoppers and partnering with Canadian retailers to create runway-inspired looks consumers can wear today.”
