A Night out with the Deadly Nightshades
Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week [FAT] is in a couple of days (April 9-11, 2008), following Ryerson's new Fashion Week and the graduating fashion design show Mass Exodus.
On Thurs. April 10, myself and a bunch of illustrious crazy people will be premiering a 10 minute fashion video we've been working on called, 'A Night out with the Deadly Nightshades' - a high-energy, fashionable tale of four stylish designers, who also happen to be a bike gang, who set out to spread the word about sustainability and social responsibility in fashion.
Even with the 'green' movement, the fashion industry is continuously guilty of toxic chemical clothing, fast-fashion and massive waste and slave-labour factories. The Deadly Nightshades, made up of Irene Stickney, Nniamh McManus, Cat Essiambre and Meaghan Orlinksi, ethically strive to bring industry change in this film and in their every day lives.

Spreading the message @ L'Oreal Fashion Week
A Night out with the Deadly Nightshades, directed by George Browne, premieres Thursday, April 10 @ 8:15 p.m.
[FAT] Fermenting Cellar, Distillery District, 55 Mill Street Tickets $15/20 for all three nights.

what's ew???
I think he meant "Awww...." as in
AWWWWSOME!!!
you girls are cute!
no i meant ew! not eeeeeeeeeeeven fashionable. theres no such thing as dumpster-chic.......quit trying to make it cool.
And that came from....?? You said dumpster chic - Does that have something to do with wearing used and vintage clothing?? Sorry Ms. wanna-be coach.
See the film before you comment I would advise. Brands and gross consumerism is so passe - really progressive fashion types are making their own choices about where their fashion comes from - not just blindly accepting anything thrown on a rack at the mall......
Easy on the hatin', there Ms. Ew. You know what's really fashionable? Clothing that was made by children in china, sprayed with toxic fungicide in the boat on the way from Hong Kong (so that your clothes don't start to grow mold on the way over...) and then thrown out within six months to become landfill. THAT'S dumpster chic. Ms. Ew - I think you're just a bit jealous...
Sorry [re last comment ] I need an aka as I saw film and made see film comment and not Ms Ew. Thanks for the clarification on Dumpster Chic . . . sometimes people have different meanings for things...aka Bat for Fashion
i love vintage and used............ but there's a way to work it without looking like a total junkie.
helmets?
