I attended the VIP reception for the Art of Fashion’s Design Competition on Friday September 27th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Art of Fashion\u00a0is an award-winning not-for-profit organization that champions high-quality Canadian fashion.\u00a0Art of Fashion\u00a0is committed to fostering the careers of Canadian apparel and accessory design\u00aders by creating award winning platforms for exposure.<\/p>\n

I haven’t attended a fashion event for a little while. I used to organize Gallery 1313’s Fantasy Fashion Show, an annual mix of fashion and art,\u00a0that\u00a0went on for 12 years. I saw some familiar photographers and fashion reporters as well as guest MC Glen Baxter who also had covered the Fantasy Fashion Show for several years.<\/p>\n

The Design Competition consists of 10 design finalists showcasing 6 designs. This year\u2019s theme for the competition is\u00a0PAST BEHAVIOURS,\u00a0that means\u00a0taking inspiration from the past and applying to the contemporary fashion scene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Model wearing designs from Katelyn Bowland’s collection<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Models wearing designs from Rani Kim’s collection: MON-FRI<\/em><\/p>\n

I checked out the designers’\u00a0works who had set up areas on the south side of the runway. I have always liked how art and fashion intersect\u00a0\u00a0and the Art of Fashion events, that now is\u00a0going on for 17 years, bring that point across.<\/p>\n

The event had a party atmosphere with lots of appetizers and cocktails.<\/p>\n

Winners to be announced:\u00a0October 8th @ Friday Night Live at the ROM
\n(Most Promising Designer, and Voted By The Public)<\/p>\n
