For the third annual Pink Bedroom party, a fashion show fund-raiser supporting breast cancer research raised money for the Campbell Family Institute for breast cancer research at Princess Margaret Hospital, designer Jane Ip, president of fashion accessories company Jeanne Lottie and founder of the event, didn't disappoint fans of the color. Pink was everywhere, from sponsor Schick Canada's pink fire truck parked at the entrance of the Liberty Grand to the blush-tinted uplit walls in the foyer and much of the decor in the event space itself. The hue was particularly pronounced in the Blowfish-catered dining area, where every place setting featured an arrangement of flowers by Poppies nestled in pink Jeanne Lottie handbags accented by pink feathers and glowsticks.
Ip said the idea of putting on a pink fashion show with a bedroom theme came to her in a dream in 2002 while she was "lying in my pink bedroom in my pink house." Gillian Young, Jeanne Lottie's vice president of sales and marketing, headed the in-house team responsible for organizing the event, which attracted more than 1,000 fashion enthusiasts and breast cancer research supporters.
After dinner, models in white negligees and angel wings from Stylus Canada put on a fashion show, produced by Elaine Tennyson Enterprises, to promote Lottie's designer purses and shoes. A pink bed from Pygmalion was placed at the end of the runway; it was a focal point of the show, with the models walking around and resting on it.
The entertainment part of the evening featured funky pop outfit Jacksoul and Andy Kim, a 1970's Canadian pop star currently enjoying a career revival.
