Toronto Fashion Week cancelled
Toronto’s fashion industry was dealt a shocking blow today as Canada’s leading style event scheduled to be held in February announced in a press release that “Toronto Fashion Week cancelled and it is reassessing the format of their platform.” They go on to say, “To best support the needs of the fashion community in Canada’s unique and diverse market and ensure the resources required to produce the innovative and successful programming are allocated in the most effective way, the organization is pausing production of their annual event and its offerings.”
The announcement comes as the global fashion community continues to explore the thoughtful evolution of the industry–inclusive of changes in retail patterns and shifts in attitude.
All is not lost as it sounds like the event suggests it is “pausing production” and will either return at some point or take at the very lest take a different approach, as the statement also says “Toronto Fashion Week remains steadfast in its resolve to continue passionately championing the Toronto Fashion community – engaging the industry, supporting designers, and resonating with consumers as it has since its inception twenty years ago.”
