Plan Your Fashion’s Night Out
WHERE TO GO IN TORONTO TONIGHT!
Toronto’s first foray into Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) is almost upon us! Here’s the scoop on where to check out the action.
Start your night a little north of the city at Yorkdale, which will kick off festivities at 6pm at stores including J. Crew, Roots, Holt Renfrew, Tory Burch, Gap and Sephora. Style and beauty seminars (hosted by CityLine’s Tracy Moore) will happen hourly, and you can expect to see giveaways and deals at your favourite retailers in this upscale shopping centre.
3401 Dufferin Street, Toronto
Next, travel south on the subway line to Bloor Street, where Intermix will toast both FNO and the Toronto International Film Festival with treats, tunes and a pop of colour courtesy of ILIA Beauty.
130 Bloor Street West, Toronto
Hit up the Shops at Hazelton Lanes for a fete hosted by the Toronto Fashion Incubator and Fashion Cares. If you spend $200+, you will receive a special Fashion Cares retrospective book; spend over $500, and you could win two gala tickets for Sunday’s final Fashion Cares event (plus two all-access pass and backstage passes, too!). 10% of all the proceeds from FNO sales will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation and the AIDS Committee of Toronto.
