POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Last Sunday, @janine.bowen put together this beautiful event through @hercollected. ❤️

It was a bright, beautiful day where female creators and entrepreneurs came together to celebrate, support and uplift one another.

Cry Baby Cry was screened alongside some powerful, female-driven stories curated by our AXT Foundation Aunties, @beingkeda and @cemo25. 🫶🏽

And a little milestone worth celebrating: we showcased our adult colouring books for the first time, illustrated by the incredibly talented @yazza05! So grateful for you, Yasmin.❤️

All in all, a beautiful day filled with love, light, creativity and the joy of being seen.

Thank you, @hercollected, for creating space for women to come together and shine.

THE SHOWING a curated, gallery-style experience by HER COLLECTED. An intimate, multi-sensory afternoon designed for discovery, conversation, and connection—featuring an exceptional lineup of creators across jewelry, literature, film, scent, food, and intuitive practice.

This isn’t a crowded vendor market or a quick walk-through; it’s a living, breathing gallery with thoughtful design, beautiful energy, and moments that move the room (including readings/performances + a private film presentation). And yes… there are prizes.

Sunday, October 18, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
OBJX Studio — 100 Symes Rd Unit 200a, Old Toronto, ON M6N 5C9

Choose your viewing slot:
- 11:00 AM — The First Viewing: fresh, intimate energy + your first chance to meet the creators at an unhurried pace
- 1:00 PM — The Midday Viewing: a vibrant room built for connection, conversation, and discovery
- 3:30 PM — The Final Viewing: a warm, golden-hour-leaning close with space to revisit and make final selections

This is your official permission slip to DRESS TO EXPRESS. 👀✨

THE SHOWING is October 18 at OBJX Studio and it’s the time to play with fashion, fun, and your most audacious choices. Bring the whimsy. Bring the joy. Bring the expression. We’re creating a safe space where you can try the look you’ve been side-eyeing in your closet, the “is this too much?” moment, the color, the texture, the drama… all of it.

Those “questionable” fashion choices you’ve always wanted to embark on? Yep. Now’s your time. Pull up, show up and show out.

Type “SHOWING in the comments and ill@Send you a link.
