A Toronto Life feature let me know that Kleinfeld, a bridal store on the seventh story of the Bay flagship store at Yonge and Queen, had transformed the corridor from the elevator to the store doors into a venue for eight different installations. Not going to this delightful free show, on for the next month, was not an option for me.
