Fashionably Founded Pt II

A good time was had by all at last week’s three F’s: Friday’s Fashionably Founded. The event at Caesar Martini's drew 200 people who were treated to a dynamic fashion show featuring clothing by Loop and swimwear by Vicancies. The event raised over $2000 for the Steele Family Foundation, who supports local charities in the KW and Toronto area. "Personally, I thought it went really well," said the foundation's associate director and co-host, Jennifer Steele. "Everyone who came out had a great time and I recieved several postitive comments about the show." For more information about giving to the charities supported by the Steele Family Foundation, check out their website at www.thesteelefamilyfoundation.com!

Fashionably Founded!

Hey! No plans tonite? Martinis+fashion+supporting charity=good times. Hit up Caesar Martini’s for Fashionably Founded, a fashion show fundraiser boasting the best of local talent. Headed by the Steele Family Foundation (www.thesteelefamilyfoundation.com), who supports local charities in the KW and Toronto area, the event will showcase summer and fall fashions by Loop Clothing and swimwear by Vicancies. Co-hosts Jennifer Steele from the Steele Family Foundation and Al from Loop Clothing had combined expertise in their collaboration. “He had the clothes, I had the cause. We both knew several talented entrepreneurs in the industry, it was just a good fit,” says Steele. Event-goers can expect a healthy dose of what Steele likes to refer to as “sass and class.” Her three-pronged whammy approach is to raise funds for those who are less privileged and in need, entertain guests with a professional and captivating fashion show, and bring together local talent in the KW area. Need I say more?

return.

Well, I am back from a short hiatus from the magazine/office/city, and it seems since my departure, livia has gone slightly cuckoo. The cd player has been removed from the office, so she's been left with YouTube as her only source of company and entertainment. I don't think she's used to having me here, because I'm fairly sure she would not have put this on knowing someone else was in the office... at least it wasn't the weird al version. it's good to be back. maybe i'll even blog regularly.
