Fashion Film House Toronto: Cory Vanderploeg, Bree Powell, and Talia Brown

🌄 |

|

On July 30th 2014, Fashion Film House made its Toronto debut.  Three of Toronto’s known fashion influencers, photographer Cory VanderPloeg, Stylist Talia Brown, and Makeup Artist Bree Powell were highlighted in a fashion film showcase made up of content and footage of their past works done both together and apart. The Hermann & Audrey studio was transformed into a theatre and lounge where friends and fashionistas gathered to mingle over drinks while catching inspirational images and video from featured trio.

Beginning in Chicago, Fashion Film House is a monthly event that provides a unique platform for fashion professionals to be showcased. It was created to empower the fashion industry as a whole and in doing so to promote beneficial collaboration. We hope you will join us in October for the second installation of Fashion Film House Toronto. Stay tuned for more details.
