While I am admittedly not the most fashionable person I know, I have definitely learned a thing or two over the years by paying attention to those who are
Making note when experts on the subject give me advice or share knowledge with their followers, I have come to realize there are a handful of events I must always be aware of and attend when possible. Returning for the 2024 Spring Popup at CF Eaton Centre, INLAND is one of those events that simply cannot be missed and I’m here to tell you why.
First off for those of you who are unaware, some context.
“INLAND is a shopping community for Canadian designers and for those who celebrate them. A curated retail platform, we host annual popups featuring slow fashion, accessory, and jewelry brands that are thoughtfully designed and crafted. Founded in 2014, INLAND has since showcased over 500 of Canada’s most defining new collections.
… is committed to helping shoppers move away from passive consumerism toward thoughtful collecting. Discover a designer whose pieces reflect your personal style, know exactly where each piece was made, and minimize your environmental impact, all while supporting the arts. Shop small, think big, and feel great about your everyday purchases.”
I have attended a handful of INLAND popups over the last 11 years of blogging and have always been impressed by the Canadian talent and fashion community. Not to mention I love witnessing the fashion community of creators, thought leaders and consumers coming together to support with their coverage, and purchasing.
It’s so important in a world driven more and more by fast fashion to #WearCanadian and #ShopCanadian where and when we can!
Although I am sad to be missing this season’s popup, I have no doubt some of my favourite fashion creators and members of the media will be attending the upcoming media preview and popup. If this sounds like something you’d love to see for yourself and support, details are below for you.
