After years of anticipation, Fashion’s Night Out, the Vogue-backed citywide street party that began and expanded worldwide to include stops in London, Paris and even Sydney finally made its way to Canada’s fashion capitals, hitting Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal last night. As our editors attended events around Toronto, photographer Farzin Ghayour hit the pavement to shoot the street styles.

Beginning with Holt Renfrew’s 175^th anniversary street party, Ghayour captured some of the most adorable and magenta-filled moments including limited edition sweatshirts being sold direct from the brand’s roadtripping truck, custom-designed magenta Diet Cokes being handed out, the crowd (including president Mark Derbyshire) watching a specially filmed tribute video featuring guest spots from Victoria Beckham, Donna Karan, Michael Kors and others.

Some of our favourite vintage haunts are coming together in true cooperative style to bring us Toronto’s inaugural Vintage Night Out tonight. From Bloor Street West to Parkdale and everything in between (read: Kensington and Little Italy) stores will be open from 7 p.m. to midnight and feature sales from 20 to 75 per cent off. With a DJ spinning at Magwood, high tea at Dalston Grey, and friendship bracelet making (not to mention smores!) at 69 Vintage, there’s just no reason not to go.
