$150,000 Grant Fuels TFI Expansion
The Toronto Fashion Incubator (TFI) is expanding to over 8,000 square feet thanks to a $150,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). TFI will take over the entire MUSIC BUILDING at 285 Manitoba Drive, starting January 1, 2009. The grant reflects the OTF’s maximum allowance for capital improvements and will go towards housing several new designers, transforming workspaces and helping to ensure the success of Canada’s talented fashion design pool.
Membership is available at the TFI, offering fashion designers the opportunity to network, grow and learn about the industry. In its 20 years, TFI has fostered many of Canada’s most celebrated fashion designers including Brian Bailey, Joeffer Caoc, Comrags, David Dixon, Pina Ferlisi, Foxy Originals, Colette Harmon, Todd Lynn, Arthur Mendonça and Mercy.
