Arts & Fashion Week Toronto, otherwise known as [FAT], is now in its ninth year and continues to has a reputation as the city’s best contemporary fashion and design showcase, as well as being an unofficial cool kid hangout. Known for its innovative fashion shows, live performances—this year had some seriously talented modern dancers—films and wicked art installations, each year the weeklong extravaganza focuses on exploring our modern relationship to fashion and clothing. This year’s theme of Infashion/Unfashion was spread out over five nights, each taking on a different pair of contrasting ideas (masculine/feminine and grit/glamour being just two of them). Designers in turn interpreted the night’s theme within their collections and the results range from totally wearable to beyond provocative. Read on to see some of the top looks from [FAT] 2014 and our favourite designers from the week.
