    FDCC and World MasterCard: Canadian Catwalk FW 2012

    (08/09/2012) Today I woke up to a surprising email announcing the sale of Toronto Fashion Week to Fashion power player IMG. The Toronto Fashion Community has been talking about this development all day. As an American who covers fashion week I have my own worries and concerns. I feel like I have a lot to get in order and make sure I have all my ducks in a row before Fashion week in October. I have really enjoyed covering Toronto Fashion Week and I hope to continue in the future. We all are nervous and excited for the changes.
