Toronto Alternative Fashion and Arts Week 2011: Tuesday April 26th, Day 1

The first day of F.A.T. 2011 was definitely an experience.  I've never attended before and as my virgin FAT experience, I have to say it was pretty cool because not only am i blogging officially for Toronto Alternative Fashion and Arts Week, I get to an all access pass to meet and greet with the designers, artists, performers and innovators.

An amazing performance by NLP below. You can read my review on them here:







One of the cool things about the event is that it features something called The Dressing Room Project. This is a showcase of different installations that reflect on fashion, clothing and creativity. Below is the Teddy Bear Project which had these cool and freakish little huggables. 

These ones were my favs:

F.A.T. Launch Party!

Hey Guys! I've received an amazing opportunity to officially blog for Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week or F.A.T. if you're in the know ;) 

F.A.T. is an annual multi-arts event that features an amazing and groundbreaking collective of contemporary fashion designers, visual artists, bands and performers.  Each participating individual or group gives us the opportunity to venture into their imaginarium and experience their creativity through sight, sound and motion.

This year's festival will showcase runway shows, live performances, music, photography exhibits, video screenings and installation exhibits all allowing us passage into the mind of each visionary.

I invite you to visit the official site and take a tour of the amazing events to come starting April 26th-29th, which will be held at 99 Sudbury Street, downtown Toronto.
