Canada Israel Fashion Week took place on April 03-06.2025 at the Ascott Parc Event Centre in Vaughan.

With over 2000 guests, showcasing 13 apparel labels, 30+ market vendors and 11 artists, this inaugural event was nothing short of THE fashion event of the season.

Our event staff and volunteers of over 200 people worked tirelessly to make this gorgeous week a success, to help Israeli and Canadian creatives showcase their talents, to help them connecting to consumers and other businesses.

CIFW was also proud to produce THE CHW FASHION BLOOMS Gala during the week, which raised $300,000 to help with the urgent PTSD crisis through the Hadassah Hospital and Shamir Medical Center.

CIFW was founded by a designer and a
marketing professional - the two connected through a mitzvah, a fundraiser modest fashion show for one of the GTA synagogues.

The foundation of CIFW was to create a gorgeous event, showcasing the beauty, diversity and talent
that Israel and the Canadian Israeli and Jewish communities have to offer, while helping the much underfunded Israeli and Canadian Creative Industries, and connect the artists to B2C and B2B clients.

As the planning for this fabulous event progressed, it
became increasingly evident that this will be a grandiose, never before seen
production, an infusion of the best of all trades - fashion- beauty - interior
design - art and performing arts.

The dream went further. We saw an opportunity. The opportunity to unite the Canadian Jewish Community, no matter on the level of observance. The opportunity to create an event that caters to all. One that showcases the diversity that our communities have to offer, and one that brings Canadians all in unison for a series of celebratory nights. And we achieved just that. At Canada Israel Fashion Week, all segments of Jewish community was present, just the same as guests from the Fashion and Film Industries, Media, Politicians, Persian, Russian, Polish, Asian, African American communities. For a few nights this year, the beautiful multicultural Canada that we love so much came together in celebration.

We will continue along this path, and spread this beautiful LIGHT over and over.

See you in the Fall of 2026 at CIFW - The Second Event!
