On Wednesday, we kicked off our newest chapter in the Design Exchange in style. The opening party for the DX’s Politics of Fashion | Fashion of Politics exhibit was an amazing time, featuring all kinds of new friends, familiar faces, and beautiful people of all stripes. We got to hang out with everyone from curator Jeanne Beker (whose button-covered dress-and-purse combo we fell in love with) to Toronto fashion-scene mainstay Jeremy Laing and all kinds of other luminaries from the worlds of fashion and design. (Nicky Hilton even made an appearance!)

We had fun getting to mingle with all these glittery new fashion friends, and we think they had fun checking out all the cool new stuff we have in store for this exhibition. We’re excited to see you all at the store (and the exhibit!) now that it’s open for business - but in the meantime, take a look at all the beautiful people we met at the opening party:
