This is a chance for anyone and everyone to view exciting fashion trends from around the globe; this is a fashion & lifestyle show. IFE is in its 6th Edition, already having five successful events since 2015 in Toronto, Canada / Dubai, UAE / Lagos, Nigeria. IFE is also a platform for buyers, as well as fashion editors, to seek & promote new trends from abroad to the North American Market. This is in order to create new departments that cater to the emerging ethnic market within their own region. IFE’s headquarters is based in Toronto, Canada. IFE serves as a platform for international and local designers to feature their latest trends in the Fashion industry to the respective audience in any specific city and/or country. With an ethnic boom in North America, communities from around the world have been brought in to fulfill the fashion needs from around the world under one roof to cater to the mainstream as well as ethnic markets. IFE features international designers, along with international super models and local models. Celebrities attend along with media and the general public. This creates a buzz that boosts the local market to an international platform.
