FASHION WEEK - PHILISTINE AND COAL MINERS DAUGHTER



FASHION WEEK DAY 2

Welcome to the second official day of Fashion Week at U of T! Today we are highlighting two small, but amazing boutiques in Toronto: Philistine and Coal Miners Daughter. Both evoke an at home, vintage, and eclectically Canadian feel which we can't wait to include in our show. We will also be selling tickets in the CSC (79 St. George St) today from 1:00pm until 5:00pm for our Spring Charity Fashion Show on Friday. Tickets are only $10 for early-bird so make sure to buy them beforehand! 



Philistine began as a vintage online retailer in 2007, and then branched out, creating a store and becoming an amalgamation of stylistically modern vintage and contemporary brands. They cary an array of lines which perfectly encapsulate their original vintage consumer. Philistine's goal is to bridge the gap between new and contemporary brands and modern vintage finds. Some of the brands they sell include Woolrich, Baggu, Dr. Denim and Timex. Philistine is the perfect spot for the trendy, fashion appreciating city monger with an eye for well picked out vintage, and we can't wait to showcase their looks on Friday for the first time.

Coal Miner's Daughter is the perfect boutique for celebrating Canadian fashion. It was established in 2009 by two friends and Canadians hoping to share their love for clothing and jewelry with like-minded consumers. They carry no less than 80% Canadian brands and their store is the ultimate stop to indulge in Canadian designers from all over the country. Some of their brands include Valerie Dumaine, Eve Gravel, Birds of North America and Pink Martini. This boutique is quintessentially Canadian and we are more than enthused to help commemorate and encourage our Canadian designers and consumers. 







DONT FORGET, our Clothing Swap is tomorrow in the East Common Room at Hart House from 2:00pm to 5:00 pm. It's only $3 admission if you bring your own clothing to swap and only $5 for those without any frocks to give up! We will also be selling tickets to the Spring Charity Fashion Show and Offical After Party at the swap. We hope to see you there!
