The Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards (CAFA) hosted its fifth annual red-carpet Awards Gala at the Farimont Royal York in Toronto on April 20, 2018. The event was created to: recognize, promote and support outstanding achievement and emerging talent in the Canadian fashion industry. It was a privilege to be part of this evening, to network and to celebrate with Canadian talent and fashion leaders including emerging designers, image makers, stylists, influencers, educators and students. Throughout the evening I shared highlights using live social media content, Instagram Story updates and communicated using comments and direct messages. My students were engaged outside the classroom as current students and alumni gained virtual experience and visibility into this industry event.
