Toronto’s multi-arts fashion week, Fashion Art Toronto came to an end last Sunday and we were amazed by all the great shows 30 of the most talented Canadian designers had put together. If you didn’t get a chance to watch the shows live, don’t worry! Here is a recap of all the events at FAT and we included some of our favorite shows so you can get a taste of it as well!

Last Saturday, November 5th, we had the opportunity to attend the fantastic Fashion Art Toronto Opening HausParty at The Selby. It was an amazing event, full of models, designers, and media, hanging, dancing and networking.

Live Runway Experience

We also had the opportunity to attend to some of the wonderful Runway shows on Friday and Sunday. Keep reading to find more detail about Fashion Art Toronto: The Recap.

For Friday experience we had the opportunity to see four spectacular brands, all of them mixing fashion and art.

SHAGHAYEGH TAFRESHI

The first one was SHAGHAYEGH TAFRESHI. In her recent collection, the designer says she was “inspired by the fate of the birds in the Aviary and the name of the collection is AVIARY.” Each piece represents one specific bird that is looking for freedom and wants  to get out of this Aviary.“

PIPPA LATEX

This show had us mind blown. The textures and cuts of the PIPPA LATEX garments were amazing and the bold colours reminded us of pop-art / comic book inspirations.

Bulova was a sponsor for Fashion Art Toronto and was featured in two of the most awaited shows: Hendrix Roe and Lesley Hampton. We were able to speak with  Zahra Hemraj, Director of Marketing for Citizen Watch Canada (the parent company for Bulova, which also encompasses Citizen, Frederique Constant, Accutron, and Alpina), about their partnership with Fashion Art Toronto this year. She explained to us that Bulova is “…proud to be sponsors of Fashion Art Toronto, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see our watches alongside the designs of Lesley Hampton and Hendrix Roe.  Bulova is a brand that was born from an immigrant’s vision, and truly is a story of risk-taking and of innovation,  which we feel resonates with the passion and drive of these incredible Canadian designers.”
