Heart of Fashion Toronto

This Week in Fashion: Heart of Fashion Pop-Up Shop, lots of charity clothing swaps and sample sales

This Week in Fashion rounds up the week's style news, store openings and closings, pop-up shops, sales and upcoming fashion and design events in Toronto. Find it here every Wednesday morning.

EVENTS/PARTIES

Drop by Shops at Don Mills (23 Karl Fraser Rd) before Saturday (November 9) to peruse the Heart of Fashion Pop-Up Shop featuring fashions by Canadian designers like Lucian Matis, David Dixon, and Laura Siegel. Snatch up a new dress and support mental health care programs all in one go - net proceeds from the event will support North York General Hospital's Phillips House. The shop will be open from 11 am until 7 pm daily.

Dress for Success' 3rd annual Heel of a Good Time fundraiser gala is creeping up next Wednesday (November 13), so pick up a $90 - $180 ticket before it's too late! This year, it'll take place at The Fifth Social Club (225 Richmond St W) and include a tribute to Jeanne Beker, a long-time supporter of the organization. From 6 pm until 8:30 pm, watch an interactive fashion show, participate in a live auction, and sip on fancy cocktails. Proceeds will benefit Dress for Success' efforts in supporting disadvantaged women in the city.

If you're tired/bored/totally over some of the clothes piling up in closet, I have a solution for you! Bag those babies up and take them to one (or all) of three clothing swaps happening over the next few days to revamp your wardrobe in a sustainable and socially conscious way:

- Bring up to 30 vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories to the Vintage Clothing Swap at the Arts Market (846 College St) on Saturday (November 9) and leave with a whole new haul. But, be sure your swappables are at least 20 year old before you turn 'em - no 90's garb allowed! The event runs from noon until 4 pm and admission is $5 at the door.

- Pop by Tallboys (838 Bloor St W) from 1:30 pm until 5 pm on Sunday (November 10) with a heap of gently used clothing, $8 admission and your game face ready for action. You can swap 'til you drop while also helping homeless youth at risk; all proceeds from this Charity Clothing Swap hosted by Horizons For Youth will go right to the United Way.

- Last but not least is Loft 404 and Sauvage's Pre Loved Clothing Bazaar, happening on Monday (November 11) from 7 pm until 9 pm. Drop off a minimum of 10 fall/winter clothing, shoes, and accessories and pick up your $10 ticket at designated locations, before the event, and show up to Loft 404 (263 Adelaide St W) on the day of, ready to sift through racks and racks of pre-loved treasures. All proceeds will go to New Circles in support of low-income families in Toronto.
