The School of Fashion’s annual end-of-year show returned with Mass Exodus: Blended (external link) , a celebration of the creativity, innovation, and achievements of graduating Fashion students. This year’s event featured three themed runway shows and an immersive exhibition that explored the evolving boundaries of fashion. With over 60 student collections, more than 40 featured projects, and 900+ attendees, Blended not only spotlighted the emotional depth of each piece, but the thoughtful design and cultural significance behind them. 

“Mass Exodus offers more than a showcase of their work - it provides a glimpse into the visionary talent and transformative ideas that will help redefine fashion in Canada and contribute to a more equitable, innovative, and sustainable global industry,” says Joseph Medaglia, Chair, Fashion at The Creative School, Toronto Metropolitan University.
