Abstract
"The importance of an exhibition such as this can't be understated," says Robert Mantella, president and CEO of Mantella Corporation, a family-owned real estate developer of more than 65 years. "POF / FOP is both an educational experience and a thought-out response to criticisms that fashion is shallow and superficial. It demonstrates that the clothing we wear can have a much deeper message."
Since 1946, Mantella Corporation has stood as one of the most highly respected real estate developers in Canada. Founded by Anthony Mantella, Mantella Corporation's expertise ranges from industrial warehouses to luxury condominiums, retail plazas to custom homes. Currently under the guidance of Robert Mantella, Anthony's grandson, this family-operated enterprise expanded its breadth in 2008 to launch Mantella Venture Partners, a $20-million early stage start-up fund that invests in innovative software businesses. Mantella Corporation is also highly committed to community involvement, supporting numerous national and international charities, including ONEXONE, Ronald McDonald House Toronto and Amore Without Borders.
