The event, dubbed 'A Celebration of Canadian Design', includes a VIP retailer and agent preview, a runway fashion show and a B2B networking reception.

The objective of the showcase is to provide market-entry opportunities for Canadian fashion designers. 

A total of eight Canadian designers will participate in the showcase, including evening wear designer David Dixon, Vancouver brand Studio Lorem Ipsum, and streetwear label Vandal. 

Other brands and designers include Alan Anderson, Adrian Arniere, Hania Kuzbari, Msichanaand Shelli Oh. 

It is expected to attract a notable list of UK and international retailers, sales agents and media including Net-A-Porter, MatchesFashion, and British Vogue, to name a few. 

The event will take place at the prestigious Canada House, Trafalgar Square, and is invitation-only. 

Launched in 2018, almost 50 export-ready apparel and accessory designers have participated in 'A Celebration of Canadian Design' since its debut, including many who have gained media recognition, secured orders with UK retailers and sealed deals with UK sales agents/distributors.

The fashion event is organized by Toronto Fashion Incubator (TFI), in partnership with the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom, the City of Toronto, the Canada-UK Foundation, and the Trade Commissioner Service of Global Affairs Canada, among other event supporters.
