In its seventh year, Toronto Arts & Fashion Week has a mandate of showcasing artistic disciplines rooted in fashion and their exploration of the notion of clothing and the body in today's time.

The festival emphasizes this mandate through the showcase of fiber based work, photography,  installation, film, video, mixed media, performance, installation and fashion design, in an effort to push forward and redefine our perception of the fashion phenomenon.

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Toronto Arts & Fashion Week invites fashion designers and artists to submit proposals for the 2012 programming. Any mediums, materials, messages, visual presentations and performance used to deal with fashion in a new, exciting and unorthodox way are all encouraged to be explored.

Submitted proposals should reflect on the notion of clothing, the body, fashion and the 2012 thematic focus 'fashionSCAPES'

2012 THEMATIC APPROACH:
The 2012 theme fashionSCAPES mirrors the notion of landscapes; vast, unique, seasonal and ever changing. Artists are invited to respond to fashionSCAPES by investigating one of four sub themes set out for each evening by the festival; land, city, body, future.
