The Dare to Wear Love Show is tonight and I’m more than ecstatic. Known to be a showcase of incredibly talented designers sourcing unique fabrics and textures pulled together to show in a benefit for HIV/AIDS and the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Dare to Wear Love is an annual gala fashion event and fundraiser started by Jim Searle and Chris Tyrell, designers and founders of Hoax Couture, to raise funds and awareness for the Stephen Lewis Foundation in its support of grass roots organizations fighting the HIV AIDS pandemic in Sub Saharan Africa.

 

For 2009, the designers asked 24 of Canada’s top fashion designers to create an outfit using 6 yards of African cloth, which were then exhibited on the runway at LG Fashion Week in Toronto in October 2009.

 

For 2010 Dare to Wear Love (October, 2010) an even more spectacular event is in the works.

It’s an event that keeps you on your toes, as the animated and exquisite models present lively works, many of which are up for auction afterwards. All too excited to be there! See below for sketches to foreshadow the night.
