This week was all about recuperating after your St. Patrick's Day festivities and enjoying the bit of sunshine that finally peeked out, but this weekend is brimming with fashion and art-related parties. Take a gander at the work of Ryerson University New Media graduates, or pop in to Midnight MRKT's one-year anniversary. If you're a fan of clothes with a bit of history to them, stop by the Toronto Vintage Clothing Show, or celebrate the latest issue of WORN Fashion Journal.
