INNISFIL, ON, July 24,
2024 /CNW/ - Friday Harbour Resort is thrilled
to announce the return of its highly anticipated Fashion Collective
Series, taking place August 16-18 and
August 23-25. Developed in
partnership with Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards (CAFA), the
Fashion Collective Series celebrates Canada's top fashion and design talent on the
stunning shores of Lake Simcoe. The signature summer event is
entering its fourth year and was a finalist in the Canadian Tourism
Awards' events category in 2023.
Each Saturday, Friday Harbour's iconic CIBC Pier will transform
into a captivating open-air runway with live entertainment and
looks from Canadian designers, including Narces, Christopher Bates and Hilary MacMillan. Friday Harbour is excited to
welcome FASHION Magazine as a media partner for this year's Fashion
Collective Series which will also feature a
special presentation of House of Gallagher. Throughout both
weekends, attendees can enjoy a variety of activities across the
resort, including a pop-up retail market, offering stylish apparel
and accessories from brands such as Rita
Tesolin, Vanessa Vinces,
Revelle, WILYMI Jewelry Co, Isle of My and Easy Mondays.
"For the fourth year, we have the honour of showcasing top
Canadian talent in partnership with CAFA, while continuing to
cement Friday Harbour as a premier lifestyle destination," says
Hani Roustom, CEO of Friday Harbour Resort. "We are proud to
support Canadian fashion and entrepreneurship, as well as bring
creativity and innovation to the South Simcoe Region. We look
forward to welcoming our residents, the local community, and
visitors to this unforgettable experience."
"Our continued collaboration with Friday Harbour has allowed us
to create greater awareness for Canadian designers, retailers and
brands," adds Vicky Milner,
President of CAFA. "Friday Harbour offers a spectacular backdrop to
highlight some of our top established and emerging talent while
providing them with opportunities to engage with new
audiences."
The Fashion Collective Series is open to the public, offering
both complimentary programming and special ticketed experiences. A
portion of this year's ticket sales will be going to support the
Toronto Fashion Incubator (TFI). TFI is a non-profit organization
that provides early to mid-stage entrepreneurs access to resources,
helping them achieve and sustain success in the fashion industry.
