RSVP Invite only event.

Fashion Art Toronto officially launches Fashion Week SS26 by reclaiming one of the city’s most iconic luxury fashion spaces.

For one day only, the legendary former Saks Fifth Avenue / The Room designer floor is transformed into THE (SHOW) ROOM — a large-scale cultural fashion marketplace and immersive retail takeover celebrating the full spectrum of Canadian fashion creativity.

More than a shopping event, this is a symbolic reopening of a landmark Toronto fashion destination through the lens of local designers, emerging talent, fashion institutions, and cultural storytelling.

Guests are invited to spend the day exploring a dynamic environment where fashion, culture, art, and commerce collide.

Expect:

• Independent designer shopping
• New collection launches
• Archive and rental pulls
• Fashion installations and mannequin exhibitions
• Designer pop-ups and immersive brand storytelling
• Fashion beauty and lifestyle discoveries
• Red carpet photo moments and content spaces
• Community gathering and industry networking

Participating brands, organizations, and institutions include Style Canada, Indigenous Fashion Arts, INLAND, Black Designers of Canada, TMU, and more, alongside a curated lineup of emerging and established Canadian designers.

Throughout the day, media, stylists, buyers, tastemakers, and Toronto’s wider creative community will move through the space, making this one of the most exciting fashion networking and discovery moments of the season.

This is your invitation to experience the official kickoff of Fashion Week inside one of Toronto’s most meaningful fashion spaces — reimagined for the future of Canadian style.

Running May 25–31, 2026, Fashion Art Toronto brings together 50+ designers, artists, and brands through a city-wide program of runway shows, immersive offsite experiences, exhibitions, retail marketplaces, and free public activations.

This season launches the theme Toronto, Show Yourself — a bold call for visibility, confidence, and pride across the city’s fashion community.
