TOM* is a celebration of the best in Menswear design showcasing established and pioneering Menswear Designers and Brands from Canada and around the world. Toronto Men's Fashion Week is the 8th in the world, joining the ranks of London, Milan, Paris and New York. TOM* is designed to increase the profile and image of menswear as its own viable industry, with its own set of buyers, editors, and audience. Historically, menswear designers have always taken a back seat, often showing their collections alongside the women's or tagged onto the end of global women's fashion weeks. Finally, menswear can have their own platform to showcase their innovation, creativity, and talent in Toronto.
