EcoSessions: Make it Here (TO)

When IMG announced it would no longer produce Toronto Fashion Week, the industry mourned. The landscape is shifting and fashion weeks are just one element that need a revisit. Not to be deterred, this EcoSessions will gather local industry leaders to discuss, (a la Frank Sinatra) if we can make it here, can we make it anywhere? Join us on Thursday, October 18 to hear from: Peggy Sue Deaven-Smiltnieks (Peggy Sue Collection), Kathy Cheng (WS & Company) and Julia Grieve (Preloved). Moderated by Kate Black (Magnifeco.com).
