TORONTO FASHION WEEK / FAT / FASHION ARTS TORONTO

I think this is the last of  the schedules for "FASHION WEEK TORONTO"...the week that began on Wednesday March 14 and runs through Saturday April 27!

 

It began with the now-30-year-veterans and obiquitous-to-fashion-week-team of JUDY CORNISH  and JOYCE GUNHOUSE for "COMRAGS",  along with another solid handful of Internationally-showing CANADIAN DESIGNERS, at "the shOws", running from March 13-14.

Next up, the in-its-second-season "WORLD MASTERCARD TORONTO FASHION WEEK",  March 18-22, with it's roster including veterans DAVID DIXON and STEPHAN CARAS.

 

With a finale by the art/fashion world of "FAT/FASHION ARTS TORONTO" April 23-27, I've listed all their "live" fashion shows below. (their lineup also includes performance and music and art of other sorts, see their website http://fashionarttoronto.ca/ for complete listings.)

 

What a week...lol....they do us proud....
