Hosted by In Fashion's Glen Baxter, Women  x  Women  is  a  fashion  event that premiered March 19, 2009 during  Toronto  Fashion  Week  in that  will  showcase  works  by  some  of  the  top  female  fashion  photographers in Canada.

This  invitation‐only  industry  reception  party was held  at  Fashion  House  Condo’s  presentation center in the heart of Toronto’s fashion district at King and Spadina. The exhibition will be also open for public viewing  from  March 20th to 21st.

In  attendance  at  the  industry  event  were the  top established  and  emerging  Canadian  fashion  photographers.   The  event  offered the  fashion  and  advertising  industry  an  opportunity  to  connect  with  the  photographers,   check  out  previously unpublished, fashion‐forward work and discover hot new talent.

The  photographer’s  exhibition  submissions  responded  to  the  theme,   “women  by  women,” offering a fresh perspective in a field and industry heavily dominated by the  influence  of  the  male  gaze.   While  firmly  anchored  in  the  aesthetics  of  high  fashion,   the  displayed  work  will  capture  the  beauty,   vulnerability,   strength  of  the  model  through  the  photographer’s  eyes,   with  artistic  direction  drawing  on  the  photographers own memories, style and dreams.

With  the  media  watching,   a  crowd  of  300+   and  an  exciting  mix  of  photographers,   designers,   models  and  industry  tastemakers  in  attendance,   this  exhibition  has  the  potential to become an annual staple of Fashion Week that Toronto will love.

Check out the exhibit at The Fashion House (560 King Street West) this weekend!
