When someone says they’re buying “local,” it’s usually a reference to the groceries in their baskets, but in the fashion world, this concept takes on a whole new meaning. Poised on showing off Canada’s talent in fashion, menswear store GotStyle will be hosting the “Made in Canada” during Toronto’s Fashion Week in October.

In doing so, the well-known menswear store will be featuring brands that they sell, such as Bustle, Kwasi, and of course, JUZD Streetwear! Are we excited? Of course!

Toronto Fashion Week is one of the most talked about events in the city with over 450 registered media personnel and 25 000 persons in attendance. During the fashion week, the website achieves over one million hits per day.
