Dare to Wear Love is the first exhibition devoted to the celebrated work of top Canadian fashion designers created to raise awareness and funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation and their work to address the AIDS/HIV pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Speaking to the potency and poignancy of artistic expression within a global context, this installation showcases pieces created from African cloth by Canada’s top fashion designers including Brian Bailey, David Dixon, Fashion Crimes and Linda Lundström as part of Dare to Wear Love, an innovative creative platform initiated by Jim Searle and Chris Tyrell, designers and founders of Hoax Couture.

Presented by the Textile Museum of Canada in collaboration with Hoax Couture and the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
