We understand that not all men are going to be into a fashion swap, this is totally understandable. The fact of the matter is that men wear clothes too! If you're like many guys, you probably have a ton of stuff in your closets that you probably don't wear. Why not round-up all of the great stuff that you're not wearing and see what you can get for it? As a bonus, you'll be able to mingle with hundreds of fashionable women in an upbeat atmosphere. Gather a bunch of your guy friends together or come with your partner, we know you will have a good time. Even if you don't swap you can get a few drinks, have a bite to eat, check out the fashion show and mingle with the fashionistas. You can't lose. Plus, we're giving a huge price break for guys admission, it's only $10.00 for the entire weekend. Update your wardrobe for $10.00, you can't beat that.
All you need to do is go through your wardrobe and choose 6-12 of your best pre-loved clothing items and accessories to swap.
Please ensure that all clothing is freshly laundered, cleaned and hung on a donatable plastic hanger. Thank you in advance
Items that will be most suitable for swapping include:
- Items that are new (with tags on)
- Worn once or twice (almost new)
- Gently worn (looks and feels like new)
- Fashionable garments (current styles and trends).
- Quality garments

What to do with your "unswappables"?
As you are cleaning out your closets, feel free to donate your unswappable and charitable clothing and accessories. The Bissell Center and the Canadian Diabetes Association will be on-site to collect any garments donated to those who can use them.
Donations bins will be on-site if you wish to simply donate clothing items to our associated charities.
