Among 12 fashion shows, multiple photography and video screenings and Daniel’s DJ sets, the two most stand-out highlights of the night were 1. an intense muscular performance by A Girl in the Sky and 2. the Deadly Nightshades’ ‘Danger Paradise’.
For its second night, more people showed up to support the dozens of creative folk working to pull together Toronto’s four-day Alternative Arts and Fashion Week. The energetic vibe backstage was contained in the various pockets of designer crews working together in the same room; carnival-like in all the individual themes being created with hair, make-up and styling to complement the outfits.
As the opener for the Zuzanium fashion show, A Girl in the Sky, a two-women dance-like, gymnast-like performance, had the entire audience on the edge of their seats as we watched intense feats of strength put to the test. Just look at the pictures:
The Deadly Nightshades were definitely the most popular act of the night with their bike-friendly streetwear, presented with coordinating shoes, ‘Deadly’ underpants and fierce hair-do’s (provided by Sasoon Salon). The gals even managed to secure an accessories sponsor, 2Revert, who made up earrings and knuckle rings recycled from skateboards.
Their “Drunk in the Trunk” show is April 29, 2009 @ 88 Nassau St.
