CELEBRITY STYLIST BRAD GORESKI IN TORONTO


Brad Goreski in Toronto - February 2012
The Pride of Port Perry himself, Brad Goreski returned home to Canada - even if just briefly - to lend his support for a Friend. And it would happen that the Friend in question is none other than Vancouver-raised "It" Designer Jason Wu, who introduced his Jason Wu for Target Collection at a one-day-only Pop-Up Shop at 363 King Street West.  It is said that up to 3,000 pieces were made available, none more than $45, resulting in a turnout so substantial that original plans to open 12 to 6 PM had to be curtailed.  All sales proceeds will be going to the United Way, a perfectly good excuse to look charitable.

Brad Goreski & Mr. Will-W.
Other than always looking impeccable, the handsome Stylist to the likes of Kim Kardashian, Shay Mitchell, Jessica Alba, Shay Michell, Demi Moore and more, has been busy working on his own Bravo Reality TV Show, It's a Brad Brad World (set to premiere this Fall in Canada), in addition to a new Book titled Born to be Brad, out March 6, 2012.

Goreski flew back to Los Angeles tonight to gear-up for an exciting weekend at the Oscars, for which he'll be styling a few high-profile Starlets, although he is unable to reveal whom exactly.

Donning one of his signature Bow Ties, Goreski was wonderful to stop and say "hello" - coincidentally both of us holding Starbucks.  And as I cabbed-off to work, unintentionally trailing his Town Car, he was fantastically gracious to Tweet the below to me:

If you're as excited for Target's Canadian launch as I am, you'll be pleased to know that an exclusive Pop-up Shop will be opening in Toronto for one day only next week, showcasing the limited-edition Jason Wu Collection. Pieces will be priced between the $10 and $45 mark with the Shop operating between the hours of 12 to 6 PM. Up to 3,000 pieces will be sold and Vancouver-raised/Taiwanese-born Wu himself is slated to make an appearance.  Canadian Fashion Guru Brad Goreski also might be making an appearance. All proceeds will go to the United Way!

The Pop-Up Shop will be located at 363 King St. West (at John St.) on February 23, 2012.

In addition to this, it was just announced this week that Starbucks will be partnering together with Target Canada stores also!  More reasons to loiter.  Hurry up, 2013!
