The Urban Rack's annual Spring Awakening fashion show raised $6,200 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation earlier this month.
Store owner Kristine Irving, who has done a charity fashion show every year for various causes since opening in 1998, was surprised at the amount raised.
"I am always so thankful for the support from this wonderful community but this year I was completely overwhelmed," she said.
"I think when it comes to breast cancer we are all able to relate to feeling scared at some point in our lives. Maybe it's a lump you feel during a self-exam or a call back due to a suspicious finding on a mammogram. It's a powerful moment when you see 150 women come together and donate so generously to this cause and to the hope that we can one day live without this lurking fear."
With a minimum donation of $30, guests were treated to coveted charity bags valued at $60 to $200 in items donated by local businesses and suppliers of The Urban Rack at the sold-out event.
Guests also got to enjoy music, wine and the hottest looks of the season shown off by five stunning models.
The Treant Park Square clothing store's fashion show has raised over $60,000 for charity over the years.
