The Nightmare Fades..

taken by staff member Logan, Sunday night, while police arrests were happening down the street in the rain.


Thanks to a few determined Ryerson students we will soon put the memories to rest and be stronger than ever.

Fashion Crimes has endured quite a bit over the past 27 years, the G20 being another obstacle that we all faced together, and will overcome as a team.

A group of Ryerson students have banded together to help build a buzz for the small businesses affected by the protests last month during the G20 summit, downtown Toronto.
Project co-ordinator Laura Miller, said a major aim is creating awareness of these businesses.

Our general manager Kathryn Mcewan had this to say: We couldn’t open on Sunday, we weren’t open long enough to make any money on Saturday, really,” McEwan said. “And no one came down the next week because everyone was afraid of Queen Street.”

Volunteers handed out maps showcasing the affected businesses all throughout the downtown core. They said they handed out 1,000 maps, and plan to hand out 1,000 more.

POSER.


A steamy, stylish affair is what the Toronto Star is calling Photographer Cailtin Cronenberg's book launch party. The launch took place on Wednesday, July 21, at the Berkley Church; the perfect setting for a mingling of those in the Toronto art scene, who of course arrived in style. Poser is the four year project of Cailtin, a Ryerson Grad, with an incredible talent. When asked about the project she said; "it was like getting married and giving birth at the same time".Caitlin wore the gold lace tied up dress and tons of FC accessories. Fashion Crimes designer, Pam Chorley, manager Kat McEwen and office manager Melissa Yetman all attended the soiree, rocking beautiful prints that matched their double-a wit and charm.

Happy Birthday Pam!!!!!


Yesterday (July6) Pam celebrated her birthday, for the sake of keeping my job I can not tell you how old she is!

Pam opened the store on Queen St in 1982, had her daughter Jasmine 10 years later and has been a strong feature in Queen St West ever evolving history.

From all of the staff here at Fashion Crimes, we wish Pam the happiest of Birthdays!



When did Toronto get so cool?

Toronto has always been cool, just took other people a little longer to realize this.
Fashion Crimes was recently featured in the Miami Herald newspaper, the article was titled "When did Canada get so cool?".

The article hails Toronto as the hot 'go to' city in Canada, with awesome nightlife, unique and trendy shopping , amazing restaurants and other little treasures. It talks about the wonders on Kensington, marvels at the history of the Horse Shoe Tavern and all the amazing worldly eats the area of Queen St West has to offer.

Fashion Crimes relies on word of mouth to spread the story of our store. We do get quite a few international customers and people from all across Canada who have heard from a sister,cousin,friend all about Fashion Crimes.

Keep on passing the good word and check out the article from the Miami Herald Here.
