|FAT| Arts & Fashion Week is the real deal holyfield when it comes to a legit Art & Fashion week in Toronto!! It’s for the one’s who cringe at the thought of heading over to the “tents” hoping to sit front row at a show for a designer who sells in a grocery stores!! It’s a platform for inventive, pioneering and contemporary expression. This year’s annual multi-arts event runs from April 22-26 at the Daniels Spectrum and features 200 national and international fashion designers, visual artists, bands and performers each year.
The |FAT| 2014 theme INFASHION / UNFASHION reflects opposing values, visions and expressions around fashion and art. INFASHION refers to that which is in vogue and on trend. UNFASHION refers to sources of influence beyond trends such as art, culture, industry, nature, politics, religion, society etc. Each night will showcase two opposing ideas in contradiction to one another. Designers/Artists will present one of the two opposing themes of a particular night, or will explore how those two contrasting ideas can work together.
INFASHION / UNFASHION will unfold across five days of unique programming based on these five sub-themes: EARTH vs INDUSTRY, GRIT vs GLAMOUR, CULT vs CULTURE, MASCULINE vs FEMININE and MINIMAL vs EXTREME.
