The Fashion Zone
At the intersection of fashion and technology, The Fashion Zone is an interdisciplinary incubator that provides growth and funding opportunities that ignite and inspire fashion innovation in Canada. Located at the downtown core by Yonge-Dundas Square, Fashion Zone is fully equipped with a modern workspace, prototyping facilities, and access to a community of entrepreneurs and over 40 industry advisors who help companies grow.
The Fashion Zone empowers creators who are redefining fashion; entrepreneurs and innovators who seek to create experiences that move people to feel something different, something fresh, something new. Because to them, fashion goes far beyond clothing – it extends into product, technology, design, and retail. And while no one can be certain what the next wave of innovation will be, they believe they can enable it.
As Canada's fastest-growing incubator for fashion-inspired businesses, the Fashion Zone supports those who are committed to pushing the boundaries of their own ventures and the industry. From ideation to commercialization, the Fashion Zone supports the next generation of fashion innovation.
