TORONTO ALTERNATIVE FASHION WEEK 2011

by - May 02, 2011

 Hello fashionistas, i would like to introduce my guest blogger Stéphanie Aujean! Stéphanie went to FAT to get the inside scoop on the latest alternative fashions and now she is here to report! I would like to Thank her for all the amazing photos she has taken. Isn't she cute?!  Stéphanie is an amazing designer from Paris, currently residing in Toronto!  Read her FAT coverage and follow her here!

  
Guest blogger, Stéphanie with the Haphazard models!






"Paper Dolls" is a very poetic collection conceived by Breeyn McCarney.  Her designs are made of paper, one of them being chinese lantern paper!  The models roamed on the catwalk with their arms outstretched, stiff like wax dolls which was very thematic! The decorative patterns on the dresses were beautifully intricate!

The Heidi Ackerman & Lindsay Sinclair show began with the projection of a very beautiful movie produced by Thirty9Steps. This capsule collection is very promising and attractive! The designers convey lightness through loose materials and shapes which are translated onto long floating capes and inflated raincoats seen in the collection. Most of the garments are tightened by elastics or wooden accessories which come to support, strengthen and sublimate the body. The contrast between these antithetic materials reminded me of nature and more particularly Karl Blossfeld's work.

Androgynous, inspired by a man’s cloakroom and a woman’s fragility, Aimée Tobolka’s collection seduced me! Sexy and fresh, these garments were given rhythm by a set of transparencies, neutral tones and pure materials such as silk. Contrary to the rather experimental designers at FAT, Aimée Tobolka’s approach is simple which set her collection apart from others. I can easily see myself wearing these clothes this summer!
