These include:

  • Les Années Folles, showcasing the worldly opulence and sophistication that defined the beginning of fashion's modern era.

"From Serendipity to Hollywoodland to Grey Gardens, Fairmont Royal York has set the scene for some of Hollywood's most iconic productions. This year, with the return of 'The Grandest Night of Fashion,' we will have the opportunity to showcase the timeless bond between Toronto's most storied hotel and the silver screen.
