Indeed moments and experiences like no other occurred this past Thursday as Balanche Communication & Events hosted “Bright Night,” at Toronto’s O.Noir. The team and I have worked hard the past couple of months to put this event together. The results were amazing!
Fashion designers Jeffrey MacKinnon, Comrags, Sheila Lam, Lizares, Ashley Boutcher (to name a few), created stunning garments that represented the evening’s theme of fashion for the blind. Click here for full list of designers.When guests arrived they were greeted by the Balanche team and were then asked to proceed to the lounge area where guest speakers, Robin Kay - President of Fashion Design Council Canada, Dr. David Rootman - Medical Director of the Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye Centre and David Errington - President & CEO of Accessible Media Inc, welcomed everyone.
After the silent auction and speeches, visually impaired serving staff then escorted guests to the dark rooms where they were able to feel the garments and enjoy a three-course meal completely in the dark. After the exquisite dinner, it was back to the lounge area where models showcased the garments like mannequins in various poses.
I had so much fun that I will be joining the Balanche team again for a gala that will be hosted by CNIB in May. I will have more information on this event soon!
