Fashion Week Day 3
Day 3 of the first Fashion Week at U of T means our first annual Charity Clothing Swap! The clothing swap is from 2 until 5pm today in the East Common Room in Hart House. It's $3 entry if you bring your own clothing to swap, and $5 if you don't have any of your own clothing and just want to peruse what others have donated. Don't forget, all proceeds go towards the Toronto Humane Society, so help our furry friends and come by! Today the blog post will be highlighting a Toronto menswear store called Original Penguin and the online women's boutique Promise to Repeat.

Original Penguin was started in 1955 in Minneapolis. They became known for their forward thinking, golf polos for the suburbanites and golf players of America. Throughout the 50's and 60's, Penguin held rank as a well-known, sought after clothing company. In the 2000's, Penguins, now vintage, Polos became extremely sought after by young, urban adults. Penguin restarted their company, and now sell their clothing all throughout the world. Their aesthetic suits the trendsetting, prepster in all of us. Penguin's Toronto location is the only one in Canada, and we are thrilled that they have decided to sponsor our show on Friday.

For the first time in UFashion's history, we are showcasing clothing from an online boutique during our Spring Charity Fashion Show. Promise to Repeat is an online vintage boutique, that handpicks pieces to sell through their store on Etsy. Their handpicked pieces are perfect for the indie, boho-chic girl looking for a unique piece to add to their wardrobe.
There are only 2 days left to buy tickets at the early-bird price for the Spring 2014 Charity Fashion Show! Message us on Facebook to meet up with one of our executive members or stop by to the Clothing Swap before 5. We hope to see you on Friday!
