Fashion on Fire

“Fashion is a language. When we get dressed, we are speaking to the world. And now, we are giving a voice to people with arthritis – through fashion.”
~ David Dixon

Thursday, September 15^th marked our Fashion on Fire show at the Hudson’s Bay Queen Street store in Toronto featuring fashion icon, David Dixon unveiling his dramatic, fiery red arthritis-friendly ball gowns. It was an incredible show where fashion and philanthropy took centre stage, and people living with arthritis modeled fashions from Hudson’s Bay fall line, Hudson North.

Thank you to our attendees who came out to our event on Thursday night to lend their support, and to everyone who is helping to elevate the conversation about arthritis. Together, we can spread the word that arthritis isn’t what you think - it affects young and old and sometimes people you wouldn’t expect, like our 4-year-old model, Aya.

We were honoured to have television presenter, entertainment journalist, model and philanthropist, Mary Kitchen emcee this event, and very proud to host our long-time supporters and new friends – all committed to helping us spread the word and elevate the conversation about arthritis.

Fashion on Fire was a pre-event to the Arthritis Society Canada’s Arthritis Fire Ball^TM gala, taking place on Saturday, November 12 at the Fairmont Royal York, a black-tie gala featuring a champagne reception, gourmet dinner, Monte Carlo-style casino, live band, and dancing into the night.
