9th Annual Heart of Fashion

The prestigious Bayview Village Shopping Centre hosted the annual Heart of Fashion charity event on Nov. 22, 2009, benefiting North York General Hospital’s patients and their families. The shopping centre creatively emulated four major thematic shopping destinations: New York’s Fifth Avenue, London’s Bond Street, L.A.’s Melrose Avenue and Paris’ Champs-Elysées. Guests received discounts and vouchers at each ‘haute’ destination, and enjoyed listening to live music and shopping for a good cause. www.heartoffashion.ca
