Honest Threads

Set up in the eccentric Honest Ed’s store, the acclaimed Toronto artist Iris Häussler presents Honest Threads. Garments were lent by ordinary Torontonians as well as local celebrities, each item holding a personal story revealing a glimpse of the many threads that weave our identity over time. Visitors are able to borrow the garments for a few days and wear them, experiencing both literally and psychologically what it is like to “walk in someone else’s shoes.”

What an amazing collaborative idea between artist and the GTA. And I think in the best location possible. I can't wait to experience this. I wonder whose outfit I will choose....
