Last Thursday, in the Malaparte room at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, Jordin and Saul Mimran’s Moon celebrated its one-year anniversary with a party that included the launch of the brand’s basic menswear line. Leigh Lezark from DJ collective the Misshapes provided the music, only occasionally conversing with Toronto media and friends of the Mimran clan. Guests included designer Alfred Sung, The Bay’s Suzanne Timmins and Christopher Sherman, writer Sarah Nicole Prickett, Ports 1961 campaign creative director Tu Ly, In Fashion’s Glen Baxter and socialite and event planner Ainsley Kerr.
