At the shows
The Toronto fashion week schedule is up. (And they’ve got a new home)

Toronto’s LG Fashion Week has found a new home. After living in tents at Nathan Phillips Square (a few short blocks from our office), then last season at King and Shaw, the show is moving to an indoor spot with 40-foot ceilings in nearby Liberty Village. FDCC prez Robin Kay told The Toronto Star that the runway will be inside the building, which will also have a tent erected outside.
The FDCC has also released a roughed in schedule with a start date of Sunday, March 28. (The shows close Thursday, April 1.) On the ticket are veterans Joe Fresh Style, Pink Tartan and Andy Thê-Anh–all in a Wednesday night power block we hope doesn’t include anything like Thê-Anh’s cramped off-runway presentation from last season. David Dixon shows both his own and his Barbie collections on Thursday. The Project Runway Canada contingent is there: Brandon R Dwyer, Lucian Matis and Jessica Biffi, showing her Addition-Elle collection. One of the strongest names from last season, Evan Biddell, is not on the schedule. Less familiar names are textile designer-cum-clothing designer Saniya Khan, Montreal’s Coccolily, and Jules Power, whose design pedigree includes stints at Roots and Joe Fresh Style.
