70 Canadian brands to present their locally designed apparel and accessories on May 3 + 4 in Toronto


Toronto, ON – Canada’s largest fashion shopping event INLAND returns this spring to celebrate their 10th showcase and sale on Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4, 2019. Returning to Toronto’s QRC West at 134 Peter Street, INLAND connects shoppers and industry directly with over 70 of Canada’s must-have emerging fashion and accessory brands from and across the country.

"INLAND has always been about challenging the mainstream fashion system by exploring new ways of creating, showcasing and connecting with fashion," says founder Sarah Power who was recently featured in The Globe & Mail, "The goal is to make it easier to buy better. Since the first INLAND five years ago, the pop-up concept has exploded. Creative communities and small businesses are leading the way toward a more diverse, meaningful, and exciting era of fashion and design. It has been really incredible to take part in that movement. The 10th INLAND is a celebration of this evolution, a recognition of how both consumers and industry are becoming more inclusive, conscious and future-focused."

INLAND will also present a display of contemporary Indigenous designers in collaboration with Sage Paul, founder of Indigenous Fashion Week Toronto. 

“Platforms like INLAND need to exist to grow a healthy Canadian fashion industry," says Sage Paul, "I am thrilled to have curated a selection of Indigenous designers from across Turtle Island for the spring show. Collaboration in the industry is essential for authentic representation and inclusion."
