Diary of the Week: Christian Siriano Book Launch, Hermes Holiday Party and more

More than 200 fashionistas descended on the Bisha Hotel to celebrate the launch of designer Christian Siriano’s new book Dresses to Dream About. The former Project Runway star’s close friend Coco Rocha and Canadian entrepreneur Sylvia Mantella hosted the bash, which saw guests sipping on luxe champagne while dancing to tunes supplied by DJ Diego Armand. Also on the fashion front: Roots debuted its holiday collection during a immersive light show at the Royal York Hotel and Drake delivered a surprise performance at the Hermes party.
Uptown, former First Lady Michelle Obama opened up about women’s rights and education at the Economic Club of Canada and Plan Canada event at Ryerson University’s Mattamy Centre.
