Fashion Night Out

The second annual FNO is being celebrated tonight! Unlike last year, shoppers around the world don't have to come to New York City to experience this event, but can partake in it in their own city. For all you Torontonians, some stores will be celebrating FNO tonight. 

Fashion Night Out is a global initiative to promote retail, restore consumer confidence, and celebrate fashion. American and international editions of Vogue magazine coordinated the first FNO in 2009 in respective world fashion capitals. In NYC, shoppers can go from store-to-store sipping on champagne, meeting designers and celebrities, and spend lots of money. It is an event you definitely don't want to miss.

If you live in Toronto, the following stores are celebrating FNO:

American Apparel | 499 Queen Street West | Toronto, ON M5V 2B4 | (416) 703-5146 www.americanapparel.net

Holt Renfrew | 60 Bloor Street West | Toronto, ON M4W 3B8 | (416) 960-3663 www.holtrenfrew.com

The Bay | 176 Yonge Street | Toronto, ON M5C 2L7 | (416) 861-6768 www.thebay.com

The Angels are Landing...TOMORROW

WHO: Victoria's Secret

WHAT: FIRST Canadian store opening

Also, Adriana Lima, one of the VS Angels will be at the mall signing autographs between 1:30-3:30 PM. Since Yorkdale is a 10 minute drive from my house, there is no question that I will be there tomorrow scoping out the scene! I am very excited!

Hot Off The Press: TOPSHOP

TOPSHOP Coming to Toronto

At first when TOPSHOP started delivering to Canada in April, I was ecstatic. But recently, it was announced that TOPSHOP is coming to Toronto! A boutique on Ossington called Jonathan + Olivia is TOPSHOP's new Toronto home. The store opens on June 19th, and there is no question that I will be there bright and early. 


The TOPSHOP store will carry the TOPSHOP mainline, and Unique+Boutique collections, including footwear. Plus for Fall 2010, Kate Moss collection and the new make-up line will be added. 


Jonathan + Olivia seems to be a hidden gem selling popular designers like Alexander Wang, Garments, Kain, Rag and Bone, Zero + Maria Cornejo, and many more. There is no doubt that this store will draw people from around Canada and the US. 


I will let you know how it is on June 19th!
