Here’s what to look forward to at Fashion Art Toronto’s 1664 Fashion Week

With the warmer weather and the beginning and month of May comes the energy and excitement of another season of shows with Fashion Art Toronto. Founded in 2005, #FashionArtToronto – or more commonly referred to at FAT – is one of the longest running fashion weeks in the country, and many would say, one of the most important. With my early experiences attending shows and events when I first started blogging, I remember the importance FAT in the fashion community was in its stark contrast to a more commercial and “polished” fashion week. The focus on emerging talent, creativity, individualism, innovation, anti-establishmentarianism, and modernity have always been at the heart of the organization, and this year’s shows and events are set to be some of the largest and most visible to date.

With 2020 almost half way done, it feels as though the new reality we live in is slowly finding its footing.

We have learned to support local, wear Canadian and share beautiful moments with each other via digital platforms.

We continue to use our voices to amplify those that need to be heard and now we are seeing the evolution of major Canadian events taking note and making industry leading changes themselves.

Why We Wear Canadian

Six years ago, I’ll be honest and say that I didn’t know a whole lot about Fashion, let alone Canadian fashion. I assumed that if I was shopping at a store in Canada (asides from the “big names”) it was Canadian. Thankfully one of the brightest minds in the industry helped to educate me and open up my world to the incredible talent that we produce right here in the country I call home. Over the years, my exploration of the Canadian fashion world has been inspiring to say the least. I have come to meet and befriend designers from coast-to-coast, and one that always leaves me feeling inspired is the talented Andrew Coimbra. From his understanding of construction, fabrication, street style influencers, and international influences, this is one designer that (if you don’t already) you simply must explore.
