Muzik to the FDCC's Ears
L’Oréal Fashion Week Moves to a New Venue

The Fashion Design Council of Canada (FDCC) is hearing sweet MUZIK to their ears as they celebrate 10 great seasons in fashion and announce a new venue for the upcoming season's L’Oréal Fashion Week October 17 – 22, 2005.

The newly renovated MUZIK is located in the heart of the exhibition grounds at 15 Saskatchewan Road. The 1907 horticultural building features a spectacular glass dome in the entranceway and is surrounded by 20 limestone statues.

“As L’Oréal Fashion Week celebrates its 10th season, we wanted to commemorate the milestone by moving to a brand new space – a diamond in the rough that not many people will be familiar with just yet,” said Robin Kay, president of the FDCC.

L’Oréal Paris has been a sponsor for many seasons and is pleased to return as the title sponsor for the event. As fashion and beauty are intrinsically linked, L’Oréal's hair and make-up beauty team will collaborate with each designer before the event to create the perfect runway beauty looks to complement each collection. In addition, this season's Fashion Week has its first presenting sponsor, Sony, who has chosen the event to launch and brand their newest flat screen product, Bravia. The FDCC welcomes other new sponsors Schick, Restylane, Rowenta, GKFA.com, and Parasuco, to join established partners City of Toronto, Holt Renfrew and Hazelton Lanes.

The five-day, biannual event is Canada's premier showcase of home grown fashion design talent. Held in Toronto, Fashion Week has grown significantly over only a few years to become internationally recognized – one that draws over 450 accredited media a season.

"We still face the challenge in Canada of trying to assimilate fashion as part of culture, to enjoy the benefits pertinent to a thriving industry," said Robin Kay. "The FDCC has gone to every length to produce a world class Fashion Week that represents to the world how talented our designers are."

This October, over 45 designers from across Canada including Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver Ottawa and Toronto will unite under one roof and showcase their Spring/Summer 2006 collections. Beckerman, Izzy Camilleri, David Dixon, Denis Gagnon, Paul Hardy, Mackage, Pat McDonagh, Arthur Mendonça, Renata Morales, Pink Tartan, Preloved, Andy Thê-Anh, and Ula Zukowska among others will strut their wares over the weeklong event.

MUZIK's centre hall will be transformed into a fashionista's dream with installations from Vintage 69, Alan Anderson Jewellery, artist Julie Moon, Canadian Apparel Magazine, Style Magazine and its Style Export Awards, FASHION Magazine's Beauty Bar, Rowenta, Restylane, and the Corsets and Courses exhibition for the Willow Breast Cancer Organization.

L’Oréal Fashion Week is the premiere bi-annual fashion event that is uniquely Canadian enabling designers from coast to coast to showcase their talent on an international stage.
