Lumina 2026 — Canada’s Queer Fashion & Culture Experience

THIS INTIMATE EDITION WILL FEATURE PERFORMANCES BY DANNY VYNOVA. JADA HUDSON AND SANJINA DABISH. ALONGSIDE RUNWAY PRESENTATIONS FROM PARTICIPATING DESIGNERS. RATHER THAN STEPPING AWAY FROM OUR VISION. WE ARE ADAPTING IT. THE ORIGINAL FULL-SCALE LUMINA 2026 EXPERIENCE IN LONDON HAS BEEN POSTPONED. IN ITS PLACE. WE ARE TRANSFORMING SEPTEMBER 27 INTO A SMALLER FUNDRAISER DESIGNED TO CELEBRATE THE ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS STILL PARTICIPATING. WHILE HELPING LUMINA SECURE THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO REBUILD AND RETURN AT ITS INTENDED SCALE. HAMILTON WAS SELECTED BECAUSE IT PROVIDES THE STRONGEST LOGISTICAL FOUNDATION FOR OUR TEAM AND PARTICIPANTS AT THIS TIME. FOLLOWING THE RECENT ONLINE CONVERSATIONS AND COMMUNITY CONCERNS SURROUNDING THE EVENT IN LONDON. WE BELIEVE THIS CHANGE OFFERS THE MOST CONSTRUCTIVE PATH FORWARD-ONE CENTRED ON THE ARTISTS. THE WORK AND THE PURPOSE BEHIND LUMINA. THIS WILL STILL BE A MEANINGFUL AFTERNOON OF QUEER FASHION. LIVE PERFORMANCE AND COMMUNITY-JUST IN A MORE INTIMATE FORMAT. CURRENT TICKET HOLDERS, SPONSORS AND PARTICIPANTS WILL BE CONTACTED DIRECTLY WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSITION AND AVAILABLE NEXT STEPS. ADDITIONAL VENUE AND TICKET DETAILS WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY. THIS IS NOT THE END OF LUMINA. IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO REGROUP. RAISE SUPPORT AND MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER.
