FASHION WEEK - OVER THE RAINBOW and BEDO

FASHION WEEK DAY 1

Today is the first day of UFashion's first annual Fashion Week! Each day, we will be posting on the blog highlighting the stores which will be featured in our Spring Fashion Show on Friday the 21st. Our first post is about the popular Toronto boutique, Over the Rainbow and the Canada-wide retailer BEDO. 

Over the Rainbow - http://www.rainbowjeans.com/

Over the Rainbow was established in 1975 as a tailor-made denim store. Over their 37 years as a popular neighbourhood boutique in the Annex/Yorkville, they have blossomed into one of the best denim stores in Toronto (BlogTO voted them Top Denim Store in Toronto). They carry 250 styles of jeans, and 30+ brands, as well as women's and men's clothing. This is the third year Over the Rainbow is sponsoring our Spring Charity Fashion Show, and they have become a favourite for show-goers and the UFashion team. 

BEDO - http://www.bedo.ca

Just like Over the Rainbow, Bedo was started in 1975, but in Quebec. Every season they design, produce and retail their own modern and affordable designs to consumers across Canada. The BEDO aesthetic is sleek, stylish and comfortable. It pertains to contemporary men and women with an eye for an edge. Their most recent collection includes bountiful amounts of leather on jackets, dresses, shorts, and shirts, flattering stripes cut into knee length pin-striped skirts and sophisticated navy blue and white blazers, as well as jumpsuits, summer dresses, and affordable and flattering pants. 

We are ecstatic to welcome both Over the Rainbow and BEDO to our Spring Charity Fashion Show on Friday (March 21st). We hope you come out to view their collections, and many other Toronto (an online!) boutiques. 

DONT FORGET, we are selling fashion show tickets in the CSC (79 St. George St) on Tuesday (March 18th) from 1:00 - 5:00pm for only $10!

University of Toronto Fashion Week

There is just about one week left until UFashions very first FASHION WEEK! Coinciding with Toronto Fashion Week, March 17-21, we aim to bring students a glamorous yet attainable fashion week experience. Our ultimate goal is to also give back to the community by donating the 'unswaped' clothing and by giving our net proceeds to the Toronto Humane Society. 

Our main events are the Clothing Swap, Fashion Show, and Official After Party! To show the world what we've got, we'll be shooting Street Style shots throughout the week around campus!

Read on for more details about our events:

CLOTHING SWAP

When: Wednesday, March 19, 1-5pm

Where: Hart House, East Common Room

What: The clothing swap aims to bring together the well-dressed UofT community. We provide students with the advantages of proximity by maintaining the event on campus and a fair admission price to add some new pieces to their wardrobes. Students are encourage to bring their items from 1-2 pm and to begin the swap at 2 pm. Students are also encouraged to purchase their FASHION SHOW and AFTER PARTY tickets at the swap!

Cost: With clothing: $3 admission, 1 exchange ticket per item donated. Without clothing: $5 for admission and 3 clothing tickets.

FASHION SHOW

When: Friday, March 21, 7:30-9 pm

What: Our annual Spring/Summer Fashion Show gives students a look at some of the best and most unique clothing retailers in the UofT area. It's a chance to bring people together and to inspire students in the midst of an overwhelming amount of libraries! Our models are all fashion savvy students that represent a variety of different body shapes and sizes. Our sponsors are a mix of boutiques and larger retailers as well as a first for the show, an online vintage boutique! Showcasing their stuff so far are: Promise to Repeat, BEDO, Over the Rainbow, The Store on Queen, Coal Miners Daughter, Fresh Collective and TBA. There will be raffles and entertainment during intermission and all net proceeds will go to the Toronto Humane Society!

AFTER PARTY

When: Friday, March 21, 10pm

Where: The Brunswick House AKA Brunny (481 Bloor St W)

What: To cap off the evening we ask you to arrive fashionably late (but not after 12!) to the Brunny where we will be hosting our official after party. We're celebrating the end of of our Fashion Week by getting a little sloppy at UofT's favourite venue, The Brunny! To make it easier for attendants, we're selling tickets with a line bypass so be sure to get them from us during fashion week or at the show! Finally, we're saying a toast to UofT students as this will be the last week to let loose before we lock it down in Robarts and starting studying for exams. 

Cost: $5 ticket.
