The Weekend To-Do: We’re hitting the ROM’s new Big exhibit, shopping Holt Renfrew’s holiday shopping event, meeting Montreal’s upcoming designers and more
Whether you’re browsing, buying or simply beholding, there are plenty of fashion and shopping events this weekend. Montreal showcases some mysterious dark horses, Toronto opens a Big exhibit and Christmas shoppers across Canada are revving their engines at Holt Renfrew. Buckle up!
Big
The Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume opens Big this weekend, a showcase of 40 artifacts from around the world. Highlights include a short documentary produced by Dior about the production of a Spring 2011 haute couture coat-dress, a pre-Columbian Peruvian feather cape and contemporary designs from the likes of Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Tam, John Galliano and Tom Ford. Bigger is better.
