FASHION | Take Off Your Clothes
When a summer wardrobe is in order but finances are not, there's only one solution: Take Off Your Clothes. Toronto's biggest clothing swap happens this weekend and with over 4000 garments donated last year, there is guaranteed to be a wide selection of gently used clothes to comb through. Stylist Monica de Liz will help swappers use their clothing to put together outfits while ยกBORRACHO! and The Perfect Mix entertain crowds with live performances. The swap opens tonight and will continue from 10AM-4PM tomorrow. Come early for the best pick of garments and donate your own by dropping them off before the event at locations listed on the website.
Trinity Bellwoods Community Centre (155 Crawford Street) 5PM $10 advance/$15 at the door

ART | photrOspective
The encounter between humans and photography is the focus of the photrOspective exhibit, examining the reactions of people when they enter new spaces. A collaboration of local artists and businesses along with Osvaldo Sales Gallery, the exhibit will feature over 200 photographs that merge humanity and technology in the digital age. Attendees are invited to go on a date with the 25 photographers present who will mingle (though not necessarily single) and discuss their works. Live music and a photo-market will also be a part of the evening.

FASHION | The Clothing Show
The Clothing Show returns to Toronto for its 34th year, showcasing unusual and unique garments for shop-a-holics from across the city.

Local designers like Meshia's Closet, Anne Hopkins and Lou Lou Beads will promote their lines on the runway with fashion shows continuing throughout the weekend and this year will feature a fashion photography contest for shutterbugs.
