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.
