Dare To Wear Love.

The Closing show of LG fashion Week, Dare to Wear Love, featured the designs from 25 of Canada’s top fashion designers created out of fabrics sourced in Africa by the Stephen Lewis Foundation and presented on the runway on October 23, 2009

The show is an awareness builder and fundraising initiative for the foundation, combining the creativity and glamour of the fashion community with its passion to make a difference in the world. This will be a Closing Night to remember – an incredible show with a conscience – a beautiful and meaningful end to LG Fashion Week. An after-party will compliment the show with music and glamour and fabulous guests.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation was founded to get funds directly into the hands of tremendously effective community-based projects working determinedly to turn the tide of AIDS in Africa.. The Foundation has supported over 300 projects since its inception, in 15 countries in sub-Saharan African countries hardest hit by the AIDS pandemic. They fund projects which work with people living with AIDS, children orphaned by AIDS, and the grandmothers who bury their adult children, and then must raise the orphaned grandchildren left in their care.

Hoax Couture has been at the cutting edge of Canadian Fashion for over 20 years. They currently run a couture fashion studio in Toronto The courage and resilience of communities across Africa in the face of the pandemic has inspired us to raise awareness and funds to support the work of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
