Meet the Organizers

ele-author-photoEle Willoughby, Toronto, Ontario
Ele is the Captain of the 800-member Toronto Etsy Street Team, which will be co-hosting a 120-vendor market with the 416 Hustler Team at Toronto’s MaRS building. 
I’m Ele Willoughby (also known as minouette). I’m a printmaker and a marine geophysicist; I make fine-art prints on paper, hand-printed textiles, and interactive multimedia artwork. While I’ve had the great privilege of visiting much of Canada, living in a few different provinces, and traveling to many other countries, I’ve got to say that the creative community in Toronto is exceptionally active and engaged. There’s a lot of unexpected collaboration going on: your favorite local designer can recommend her favorite soap maker, the jewelers know the bookbinders, and the printmakers are taking quilting classes. There is so much Canadian talent on Etsy that’s already being exported to the world — now it’s time to let the rest of Canada know about it!

Call for Clothing Designers, UTSC The Marketing Group Charity Fashion Show

Tuesday, September 16, 2014


The Marketing Group at the University of Toronto Scarborough are hosting their annual charity fashion show and we are showcasing clothing from Toronto-based designers. They want to attract local designers or boutiques who would be interested in featuring their clothes on their runway! 

Date: November 18th
Place: University of Toronto Scarborough Campus at 1265 Military Trail, Toronto, ON M1C 1A4
How to apply: Email sophy@themarketinggroup.me with pictures or a website and description of the clothing they intend to feature at the fashion show. Number of outfits can range from 5-15. 
Deadline: Before October 20th
 
Note: A contract will be created for us to take full responsibility of the clothing and to return them in their original condition. 

This fashion show is a great opportunity to increase brand exposure as we will be marketing the event to UTSC’s student body of over 11,000 people in addition to the two other UofT campuses. Overall, the event is a great way to increase exposure  as well as giving back to the community as all proceeds will be donated to the SickKids Foundation. Post-fashion show, we are organizing a Lookbook campaign for all the outfits at the fashion show to be viewed on our website from students at all three UofT campuses.

Check out last year's Lookbook here.
