Here’s a round up of the best events from the city’s fashion scene (selected by moi) where everyone is invited. In this edition: a pop-up shop at Miracle Thieves, a free movie night at Trinity Bellwoods Park, a water balloon fight and more.
SANKOFA
Where: Miracle Thieves, 249 Crawford St.
When: Aug. 23-24
Details: Old and new; clothing and accessories; men’s and women’s; summer and fall. That basically sums up SANKOFA’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it pop-up shop, which is going to have it all, and it’s also curated by one helluva stylish pair. Opening night will feature DJ tunes, drinks and free eats.
Pre-Fake Prom Movie Night: The Life Aquatic
Where: Trinity Bellwoods Park
When: Aug. 22, 9 p.m.
Details: Outdoor movie season is sadly coming to an end, but not quite yet. Take advantage while you still can (although we recommend bringing a sweater along with that blanket), and snuggle up in the park to watch The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou during Fake Prom’s annual themed movie night. There will also be themed snacks – so don’t be late, and remember to turn off your cell phone.

Where: Rescue Vintage, 102 Ossington Ave.
When: Aug. 23-26
