Save the Dates: Ottawa Fashion Week


The city known for its incessant politics, boring bureaucracy, remarkable museums, historic landmarks and of course, the world-famous Parliament Hill is once again hosting the most anticipated show of the season - the Ottawa Fashion Week (OFW).

Now in its fourth edition, the OFW, though new is quickly becoming one of Canada's most influential fashion event. It promises a splendid week of style, glamour and fashion that you absolutely do not want to miss! The OFW Spring/Summer 2011 Collections will showcase an exciting line-up of established designers as well as up-and-coming fashion protégés against the magnificent backdrop of the National Gallery of Canada.



This may not be Milan, New York, Paris or Toronto but make no mistake, Ottawa distinctly prides itself not just of history arts and the government but also of fashion. Since its launched during the Fall/Winter '09 Collections, OFW has since proven to be a strong component of the country's fashion scene and it just keeps getting bigger and better!


Day and week passes for October 29th to 31st, are now available through the OFW website or by visiting two of the city's top quality salons: The Loft and Le Spa.


So, I know I have been teasing you with exciting partnerships here at 20 York Street so without further ado, we are proud and thrilled to announce that we have been collaborating with the fiercely dedicated team at OFW and they have offered a pair of tickets to the the Capital's most coveted fashion event!

For entries:

* Please share some love and follow Twenty York Street!
** Check out the fabulous line-up of designers at the Ottawa Fashion Week website and let us know which designers are you dying to see!
 *** Please leave separate comments for each entries.

Pair of tickets give-away ends ends: October 23rd, 2010.

Just discovered you from Back on the Block and I'm so excited! Living in Ottawa I always found it difficult to find interesting and original fashion among the majority of conservative stores. So going to follow you :)

All of the designers on the line up are so great! If I don't win the tickets, I will have to get some. Hopefully they don't all sell out on me. It's hard to pick favorites.

JUDY Design is so much fun!! All of the collections are amazing, my favorite one is Destiny because of all of the adorable dresses.

Kania is also great. There's so many different styles and the colours are so vibrant.

Jana Hanzel is so, so chic. I adore the old school beauty of the designs.

Birds of North America is really neat to look at. I wish that I could pull of that style. I think that line up will be super interesting.

Wow, that sounds awesome. Too bad I'm not in Ottawa, or even in the region.

20 YORK STREET said...

TYS got new followers, yay! Welcome new friends!

I know some of you cannot enter this give-away because of location and Air Canada is yet to contact me for sponsorship but when they do, you'll be the first to know! =)

On a cheerier note, exciting posts for today and ANOTHER give-away for tomorrow, so make sure you stay tuned for that!

Ashelle/Jenny, here's a clue - check out the calendar for the OFW, there's a new designer added to the line-up!

Ladies, if you haven't been to Ottawa or Canada for that matter, you absolutely have to come visit!

much love,

ML
