Fashion Cares, the annual spring benefit for the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT), is moving to the fall for the first time since the gala's inception 22 years ago. The event, scheduled to take place November 1, will also feature a renewed focus on fashion this year, according to 2008 chair Michael King, founding creative director of Kontent Group.
"Our vision is to bring back the essence of what's made this event such an amazing success for the past 21 years, and help ACT raise the money that is so vital to funding the organization's day to day operations," King said. "This year we're putting the fashion back in Fashion Cares with a spectacle that will blow you away—imagine haute couture meets Halloween meets Paris Is Burning and you've got an idea of where we're going. It's very exciting."
