Some of what to expect:
Taking inspiration from the theme INFashion/UNFashion, participants will present opposing values, visions and expressions in fashion and art based on five sub themes:
Earth/Industry | Grit/Glamour | Masculine/Feminine | Cult/Culture | Minimal/Extreme
Earth/Industry (Earth Day - April 22, 2014) will present eco collections and fashion constructed of re-purposed textiles and recycled embellishments contrasted by industrial designs, fashioned with 3D printing, LED and hybrid elements
Montreal-based fashion designer Brit Wacher will present her anticipated collection that plays with perspective and integrates art, live music and fashion choreography
