The FAT (Toronto Alternative Fashion Week) 2011 has come and gone with lots of excitement. It was 4 fun filled days of visual candy that ranged from fashion to photography to live music to videos to installation, how can one go wrong.

Salsa Circuit had the pleasure of attending this show and it did not disappoint. We have taken some great shots and are happy to share them with you. It was interesting how FAT’s 2011 theme was ‘fashion schematics’ that explored how we express ourselves through fashion and art and how that in turn translates into behaviours in our everyday world.
As you entered the venue, you just felt absorbed and transported into a different world for the night. The first thing to notice was the crowd and how each was expressing themselves in their own unique way. Not just everyday wear but they took it one step further to accessorize , personalize and differentiate.
Once you got past the crowd you had the alternative rock band playing, photography and visuals carefully placed for maximum impact. You then arrive at the runway stage for the alternative fashion shows. This specific evening I had the pleasure of attending the DRESS CODES theme. It’s aim was to explore works influenced by different cultural groups and it looked at the social significance of clothing and how it defined us.
The nice thing about FAT’s runway is that I actually saw ‘real-life’ models in the sense that it mixed petite and plus size models and it did not seem to be limited by what show producers thought that people might want to see by having a cookie cutter approach. It was great to see that FAT focused on a range of models that represented everyday life and the audience could better visualize the fashion on themselves. The other thing that was evident is that it was fueled by the creative genius of new designers that did it for the passion of their art.
All in all, FAT 2011 was a success and kudos to the organizers.
