As we enter a new decade, here’s how you can take inspiration from that other '20s era.
 
 
 
 
EVENT INDUSTRY BUZZ
 

1. TORONTO FASHION WEEK CANCELED: The upcoming Toronto Fashion Week has been canceled, organizers announced on Tuesday, and it’s unclear whether the industry event will return for its September edition. Refinery 29: “The news, which was delivered to participating designers last week and announced today on Twitter, has shocked industry insiders and left brands scrambling. One designer says he only knew something was up when TFW stopped returning his emails. … This isn’t the first time the future of Toronto Fashion Week has been unclear. It’s had several iterations since it started in the late '90s. Event management company IMG bought it in 2012, then shut it down in 2016 due to lack of funding. That same year, it was bought by its current ownership, rebranded, and scaled down from a seven-day marathon to a three-day sprint showcasing Canadian designers in Yorkville Village. In an era when the relevance of fashion weeks around the world has been questioned, it’s no wonder TFW, a significantly smaller operation than, say, New York or Paris, would also be affected by a waning interest in the medium.”

2. SOUTH BEACH PLANS FOR SPRING BREAK: Trying to program an alternative to wild spring breaks, the city of Miami Beach instead is proposing to program a monthlong festival to be produced by ACT Productions, with a vote by the city commission expected today. Miami Herald: “The festival would target a broad demographic, and include varied activities such as beach clean-ups, health and wellness programs, and food concessions. … ACT Productions would be responsible for recruiting partners or entertainment acts, like Live Nation or the New World Symphony, to fill out the festival.”

3. N.B.A. PLANS ‘MUSIC INDUSTRY NIGHT’ IN CHARLOTTE: The N.B.A. is launching a new event targeting the music industry, which will debut in Charlotte on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Charlotte-based DJ Chuck T is leading the event. WCNC: “More than a dozen local artists and V.I.P. ticket holders will have the opportunity to network with top producers, managers, artists, radio personalities, and record labels with insight on how to successfully make it in the music industry.”
