Centre for Social Innovation, Annex Location
720 Bathurst St. (south of Bloor)
Thursday June 30th, 5-8pm
$5~ (free with a donation of leather pants/skirt)

Here’s how it works: Bring your gently loved clothing . There is a $5~ admission fee that will go to help fund PACTfashion – OR you can bring your used leather pants/skirt instead of admission. Then swap away, dear fashionistas! The more, the merrier!

Bring your out of date leather and swap it for something better! PACTfashion wants those old clothes! Help the PACTfashionistas start their very own clothing line – funds raised (and leather donated) from PACTfashion SWAP will be used to create a fun, wearable clothing line from the kids at PACTfashion!

PACT is a charity that is creating urban peace in Toronto through experiential learning. PACTFashion is a real world sewing and design school for at risk youth and youth in conflict with the law across the GTA.

PACTFashion is sponsored by Fabricland and brought to life in partnership with THE MAKE DEN, A VINTAGE INSPIRED SEWING STUDIO at 1207 BLOOR ST. W.

Design Exchange 234 Bay Street Toronto, ON
Patty Watt Room
Adult $10, Student/Senior $8 DX Members Free Admission

Design Exchange is excited to exhibit ‘Diana: The Life of a Royal Icon.’ This famous dress collection of the most photographed woman in the world, will feature 14 of the late Princess of Wales’ most famous gowns, originally purchased at Christie’s in New York in 1997 – just 8 weeks before her untimely death.

The collection features dresses by prominent British designers Victor Edelstein, Bruce Oldfield, Zandra Rhodes and the Princess’ beloved designer Catherine Walker. Highlights of the collection include the dress Diana wore at the White House State dinner given by President and Mrs. Reagan when she danced with actor John Travolta, three dresses that Diana wore during her famous 1997 Mario Testino photo shoot for a Vanity Fair Magazine feature article, a dress that Diana wore for one of her official portraits, as well as several dresses that were created for specific state occasions. This is the final public display of the collection before going up for auction again in June.
