Theme

RENAISSANCE & COLOUR

Renaissance & Colour encapsulates the essence of new beginnings, vibrant creativity, and the pursuit of a truly fulfilling life.

We encourage all attendees to express themselves through an exuberant display of bright and captivating hues, including blues, metallics, oranges, yellows, and dusty rose, among others. We envision a celebration of extraordinary, audacious designs, distinguished by luxurious fabrics and awe-inspiring accessories. Embracing the artistry of hairstyles and innovative makeup techniques are highly encouraged.
Be prepared to transcend the boundaries of ordinary fashion events, as we aim to bring the magical allure, illusion, and sophistication reminiscent of esteemed Fashion Weeks in Paris, Milan, and New York to the vibrant city of Toronto.
Our invitation to you is simple but profound: let your imagination run free and allow the rich tapestry of the Renaissance era and the excitement of the new to converge into an extraordinary spectacle. We invite you to embrace the spirit of adventure and daring, creating a mesmerizing fusion of historical charm and contemporary flair.
At The Vanguard, you, our esteemed guests, are the heart of the spectacle. Your unique creativity, style, and vision will contribute to the transformative ambiance of the evening, making it an experience to be cherished and remembered.

We eagerly await your presence at The Vanguard’s “Renaissance and Colour” event, where fashion, art, and innovation intertwine to create an immersive and unforgettable celebration of life and self-expression in support of The Rainbow Railroad.

Thank you for being a part of this remarkable journey. We look forward to welcoming you to The Vanguard’s most extraordinary event.

FASHION AND MUSIC FOR A CAUSE.

We pledge to promote and support important community initiatives and organizations, as well as the Canadian international fashion, music and arts industry.

Together we will Heal humanity by fostering a more loving, inclusive, and safer society.

This year, The Vanguard will be in support of The Rainbow Railroad.

Rainbow Railroad is a global non-profit organization dedicated to assisting LGBTQI+ individuals who face persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. LGBTQI+ people are especially vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and trans-phobia.  The hostile environment they live in forces them to flee their own homes and families to avoid harm.  

Rainbow Railroad has played a significant role in enabling over 7,621 LGBTQI+ individuals to find safety through emergency relocation and other forms of aid. Since the organization was founded in 2006 by LGBTQI+ activists and human rights defenders who draw inspiration from the Underground Railroad they have helped over 7621 LGBTQI+ individuals find safety through emergency relocation and other forms of assistance. Their work spans across all regions and is conducted in collaboration with a global network of activists and human rights defenders who advocate for LGBTQI+ rights.

Through their efforts, Rainbow Railroad aims to provide LGBTQI+ individuals with the opportunity to live lives free from persecution. For more information please visit us at  https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/
