tom fashion week fw2016

One of our favourite events that we participate in is around the corner. It’ll be our fifth season sponsoring the MENSFASHION4HOPE celebrity runway show at TOM Fashion Week.

The MENSFASHION4HOPE is a charitable event that raises funds for The Kol Hope Foundation for children. All proceeds are donated to the SickKids Hospital via the Kol Hope Fund at SickKids to help improve the condition and lives of children with congenital diseases.

We round up notable Canadian celebrities to come and show off their best moves on the catwalk. It’s always a full house and the energy is unparallel. If you haven’t taken the time to come out and support a good cause, you’re missing out!

Come join us at TOM Fashion Week on Thursday, August 18th at 8pm. Get your tickets here.

In the past, we’ve had Jus Reign, Jagmeet Singh, Tyrone “T-Rex” Edwards, Lennox Lewis, Norm Kelly, Andrew Haley, Kardinal Offishall just to name a few! This season we’ve got Toronto Raptors’ Patrick Patterson walking in our show.

TOM* Fashion4Hope Fashion Show Recap

Every season TOM* fashion week puts on a charity fashion show called MensFashion4Hope. The event featured local Toronto celebrities in a walk-a-thon style fashion show.  All proceeds and donations went to the Sick Kids Hospital to help improve the condition and lives of children with illnesses. Gotstyle had the honour of styling everyone from head to toe.

As usual we had a great time at the TOM* show. Thank you to everybody who came out and supported a great cause. We hope everyone at the show had as much as fun as we did! Below is a recap of the show in case you missed. Also a big thank you for all our fantastic models on the runway! The energy was at an all time high.

Call us biased but when you have Lennox Lewis lead a pack of 23 awesome celebrities down your runway during Toronto Men’s Fashion Week there’s no contest that your show just shut it down. That was the scene last week when we teamed up with TOM* to sponsor and style their annual celebrity Men’s Fashion4Hope charity runway show.

Hosted at College park the event was a sold out success- and quite possibly one of the most entertaining shows of the week. Not shocking when you consider that you have a collective of athletes, musicians, actors, youtube superstars and a few politicians strutting their stuff. Perhaps the only thing more interesting than the characters in the show was the fact that each celebrity was outfitted in our latest Fall/Winter styles. That may not seem to impressive at first until of course you take note of the fact that we dressed everyone off-the-rack, ranging From 6’4 Lennox Lewis down to 5’5 Senator Tobias Enverga- there were no special orders or made-to-measure, absolutely everything featured on the runway was off-the-rack! Scroll down to see all the outfits.

Special thanks to our resident stylists Shaeleigh Afton & Sharad Mohan for styling our celebrities.

Last week the city of Toronto hosted our very first Men’s Fashion Week known globally as TOM*. The event was a monumental success and something we are very proud to be part off. Our role the official sponsor of the Fashion4Hope celebrity runway show gave us the distinct pleasure of dressing some of this city’s most beloved celebrities- legendary designer David Dixon, fashion ambassador Glen Baxter, musicians Jarvis Church and Shawn Desman, TV personalities Devon Soltendieck, Tyrone Edwards, Carlos Bustamante and Steven & Chris…just to name a few.

Taking sartorial cues from screen legends like Frank Sinatra and other old Hollywood heavyweights, our feature runway show previewed a wide collection of formalwear, from vibrant sportcoat combinations to classic shawl collar tuxedos. We are thrilled that our sold-out show had the audience on their feet and raised some serious coin for the Fashion4Hope charity benefiting Kol Hope Foundation for Children and SickKids Hospital (GS alone donated $4,000.)

Here is your exclusive behind-the-scenes look at our show.
