Toronto Men’s Fashion Week (TOM*) announced on Tuesday the official launch of the new Toronto Women's Fashion Week, set to hit the runway in February 2017.
 
The announcement was first made last Saturday, on the last day of TOM* and follows the recently announced cancellation of Toronto Fashion Week.

 
Toronto Women's Fashion Week's Fall/Winter 2017 season will run back-to-back with TOM* next February. The event will follow a similar formula to TOM* and will include designer showcases, lecture series, industry meet n' greets, showrooms and more. It will also continue the legacy of providing space and opportunities for both emerging and top fashion designers in the country.

"We are launching Toronto Women's Fashion Week, with the same fervour, passion and spirit that TOM* was founded on. We strongly believe in providing fashion designers an international platform and showcasing the incredible creative talent in this country from coast to coast. Our mission is to nurture and support the business of women's wear," says Jeff Rustia, Executive Director and Founder of TOM* and the new Toronto Women's Fashion Week, in a news statement. "Toronto Women's Fashion Week is finally being held at the right time, the right place,and delivering the right content to truly represent the current fashion landscape in Canada."
