The Textile Museum of Canada (55 Centre Ave., Toronto, 416-599-5321) is a gem of a museum tucked away on a side street near University and Dundas and if you haven’t been there, you really should remedy that tout de suite. Not only is it a trove of fabrics from all over the world, there’s also a regularly rotating line-up of contemporary art exhibitions.
This Thursday, June 4, the museum is hosting the first of its new Texstyle event series, Androgyny ($45, textilemuseum.ca). (It’s an institution that’s near and dear to me—I’m on the organizing committee.) The night includes a discussion on androgyny in art and style between fashion scribe David Livingstone, author Derek McCormack and designer Mikhael Kale, followed by drinks, nibblies from Queen West’s Nyood and tunes spun by DJ Jordan Bimm. Sephora will also be there doing androgyne glam and you can even squeeze in a museum tour—including the can’t miss fashion exhibit, The Cutting Edge.
