Recently, Toronto Fashion Week announced an exciting new partnership with Fashion Talks – a new podcast produced in partnership with the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards’ (CAFA) that observes the world through the lens of fashion.
In front of a live audience, Toronto Fashion Week and Fashion Talks will invite some of the most recognizable faces in fashion, beauty and photography to share their stories in an intimate studio setting. Hosted by Donna Bishop – an accomplished entrepreneur and Director of Programming for CAFA, guests will reveal insights, observations and historical moments on how fashion helps to shape the world in which we live in and how our world shapes fashion and the clothing we wear.
“This partnership with Fashion Talks will allow us to engage with our audience in a new and exciting way beyond the runway,” says Carolyn Quinn, Executive Director, Toronto Fashion Week. “The Fashion Talks guests are leaders in their respective industries with fascinating insight into the broad world of fashion – from pop culture to history to socioeconomic changes in the way we shop. Their discussions will provide a deeper context which Toronto Fashion Week attendees can bring with them to the shows throughout the event.”
TFW will play host to this year’s annual fashion show fundraising event, Fashion Heals for SickKids, in support of the Innovation Grant at SickKids hospital. 100% of the proceeds are dedicated to SickKids Hospital and earmarked for the important pediatric oncology research work, supported by the Innovation Grant. This year, Fashion Heals will be the finale show at Toronto Fashion Week on February 7th, from 7 PM – 10 PM.
