RESET, a fashion platform that gives Canadian designers an opportunity to present their work to consumers and media, returns in partnership with Toronto Fashion Week today. The 3-day fashion event will see dozens of designers presenting their collections in a variety of formats, from traditional runway shows to gallery-like displays. Some highlights include the week’s opener Mikhael Kale, who will present his spring/summer 2019 collection at the Royal Ontario Museum, and Sid Neigum, whose designs will be unveiled in an underground parking garage in Yorkville. Just like in seasons past, there is a shopping element to the event—RESET has teamed up with Hudson’s Bay to bring 12 collection from Canadian designers to select Hudson’s Bay stores and thebay.com.

To mark the event, RESET has produced a slick visual campaign. Shot at the Royal Ontario Museum by Maya Fuhr, the images star model Kirsten Owen dressed in a dozen looks by Canadian designers. There’s a playful sheer dress by Alex S. Yu, a gown by Sid Neigum and a statement coat by Victoria Hayes, to name just a few. Consider it your all-Canadian spring fashion preview.
