Street Style: 10 trend-defying looks from FAT, Toronto’s alternative fashion week
This week, Fashion Art Toronto (or FAT, as it’s known by industry insiders), has taken over Daniels Spectrum with its annual festival devoted to fashion’s experimental side. In addition to runway shows from avant-garde designers like Project Runway winner Evan Biddell (whose latest collection is inspired by androgynous cyborgs and galactic beings), the week-long event also showcases art installations, photo and video exhibits and live performances.
