About [FAT]

Anna Ross

The Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week: [FAT] is Toronto’s first-ever alternative arts & fashion event. With ‘alternative’ defining our style consciousness, bringing the public and the industry the mutually exclusive possibilities of fashion-forwards fused with music and art.

The Fermenting Cellar and the Distillery District will host various [FAT] runway shows, live performances and installations featuring talented upstarts and established artisans redefining style and influence.

Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week is a multi-arts festival with a mandate of showcasing artistic disciplines rooted in fashion, and their exploration of the human body in today's time. The festival aims to emphasize this mandate through the artistic disciplines of fashion design, photography, installation, video, performance, music and dance, in an effort to push forward and redefine our perception of the fashion phenomenon.  When presented jointly, the underestimated social force of fashion is showcased, redefining its role in contemporary Canadian society as not only an economic colossus, but also as an engineer of social practices and vehicle for personal expression. The Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week intends to introduce a broader audience to these related creative fields, building public interest while simultaneously creating a forum where artists can learn from and collaborated with each other.

Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week is a registered non-profit organization
