Diary of the Week: Giambattista Valli at The Room, Veronica Beard x TNT, Writer’s Trust Gala

November 13, 2017

The King Edward Hotel was the 'haute' spot this week as Suzanne Rogers and Vonna Bitove hosted the ultimate fashion show in support of The Darling Home and The Dotsa Wellness Academy. The event, which raised $800,000 and sponsored by HBC, featured couture creations by Giambattista Valli.

Up at TNT in Yorkville, Veronica Beard unveiled its 2018 resort collection in support of Jessica and Caroline Mulroney's Shoebox Project. The important initiative collects and distributes gifts to women living in shelters across the country.

More than 400 guests from the literary, business, philanthropic, and arts communities helped raise $250,000 at this year's Writers' Trust Gala. The night was also a smashing success for Haisla Hailtsuk writer Eden Robinson, who was named 2017's recipient of the $50,000 Writers' Trust Fellowship.
