Toronto gets FAT

When I’m in Canadian Tire, my shopping list usually consists of nails, cleaning products and that jumbo roll of paper towels on sale. I’m not thinking of picking up a roll of chicken wire with the intent of making clothes. Then again, I’m not Romandin’s Christina Sabaiduc. Sabaiduc was one of the highlights of the fifth year of [FAT].

Romandin combined DIY with fashion to create an elegant craftiness. Think you can’t wear a chickenwire skirt threaded with ribbons? Think again. A maxi dress that can be bunched up to create different looks? Absolutely, thanks to multiple little magnets placed in the dress.

There were some designers who really should have given their collection a quick once-over with a scissors before their show – loose threads tend to be noticeable in a small environment, guys. Despite the occasional fashion slip-up, [FAT] once again highlighted up and coming talent.

There was Heidi Ackerman who did a great job on her knitwear, Aimee Tobolka’s delicate leggings were impressive (and I say that as a non-leggings person) and Worth by David Wigley’s outerwear had me wondering if that black coat was for sale.
