Good Morning Fashionistas!
I am back from a night at FAT (Fashion. Art. Toronto.)!!! It was a totally different vibe from LG Fashion Week and a completely different crowd. Gathered together in the unique space that is 99 Sudbury Street, various rooms opened onto each other and made the gathering intimate and interesting. The industrial space was transformed into unique pockets of visual and performance art, leading into a main room where the runway shows and screenings of fashion films took place.
Our first foray into the performance art was this piece of installation art by Johannes Zits entitled ‘Pre-Loved Actions’. Can’t quite tell you what it was about or what we were supposed to take away from it, but it did make we want to go home and fold laundry.
The next one was beautifully placed on a bright orange wall ironically entitled ‘Untitled Wall System’ by Eric Cheung, Oliver Dang, Nicole Bouchard and Jacob JeBailey. I thought it gave paper snowflakes a whole new meaning!
The last installation piece that I thought was interesting was ‘Soft Response’ by Slavica Panic and David Anderson. I sort of felt like that would be a great room let out your frustrations in…a whole kind of padded wall concept with soft pillows to break your fall!
When we found some seats (second row seems to be our fated spot at these events) we spent time looking around at the crowd assembled and admired a fine looking fellow in a sparkly sequined blouse, a sassy woman wearing what appeared to be a home made crown and a fantastic woman dressed to the nines in goth chic. She was kind enough to let me take a picture of her, so without further ado, I present the electrifying Daisy:
Also noteworthy was a dapper fellow I saw named Mike. He just had such an air about him and was hands down the best dressed man there!
