IMG Has Shut Down Toronto Fashion Week
There is going to be a major setback in the fashion scene in Toronto ever since IMG Canada has made a formal announcement of pulling a plug on Toronto Fashion Week.
Citing lack of funds and local support, Catherine Bennett, senior vice-president and managing director of IMG Fashion Events & Properties said, “We felt that our Canadian fashion footprint was not generating the local commercial funding that we required in order for us to continue producing the event to the highest standard that the industry deserves and the designers in Toronto deserve. We’re sad to be moving on, but think it’s the right decision and the right time to make it.”
She added, “Partnership and sponsorship plays a really important role in it, and I think in the market in Toronto we just weren’t seeing the local support for the industry that we do see in some other market.”
