The Closing Night Gala of World MasterCard Fashion Week celebrates the fashion design community’s talents and commitment to social justice.

Dare To Wear Love is a high energy, massively entertaining show featuring gorgeous one of a kind fashions by Canadian designers, celebrity models, musicians and dancers.

Presented by Hoax Couture, BMO Financial Group and the FDCC, the event raises funds and awareness for the Stephen Lewis Foundation: Using The Power of Fashion for Good.

THE STEPHEN LEWIS FOUNDATION puts money directly into the hands of grassroots organizations in Africa that are turning the tide on the AIDS pandemic in ways that are innovative, sophisticated and impactful.

DARE TO WEAR LOVE is the creation of Hoax Couture designers and founders, Chris Tyrell and Jim Searle. Inspired by the resilience of African grandmothers raising children orphaned by AIDS, Jim and Chris invited twenty-five of Canada’s top fashion designers to take part in Dare To Wear Love by showcasing an outfit made with 6 yards of African fabric.

The lack of money is the root of all evil - Paperwallet front side
love fashion
Image by id-iom
I'm not sure if you've come across Tyvek before but it's a pretty cool material and is exactly what the Paperwallets are made of. It's breathable but waterproof and is very strong and difficult to tear but easy to cut (with a knife or scissors). And it takes a screenprint very nicely too.

The guys from Paperwallet got in touch and asked if we'd like to design a couple of wallets for them so we thought we'd give it a shot. I already had the idea of using 'the love of money is the root of all evil' but then found the similar-but-kind-of-opposite quote 'the lack of money is the root of all evil' (which i can find attributed to both George Bernard Shaw and Mark Twain - take your pick!) I can see sense in both these statements to some degree or other so surely the best stance should be to respect money as a necessary evil of which you need some - but not too much! And this is where the wallet comes in handy - to remind you of this from time to time...

We've got one more wallet in the pipeline so expect something new soon.

Cheers
