Merging fine art and couture on the runway, Fashion Art Toronto (FAT) returns from November 24 to 29 for an immersive week anchored by its THE CORE campaign. The Fall/Winter 2026 Fashion Week program will feature avant-garde presentations and exhibitions from emerging creatives and established industry voices. Commencing on November 15 with an exclusive opening party at Allan Gardens, this year’s showcase spotlights Canadian fashion on a global stage.
Transcending the Traditional Runway

Founded in 2005, FAT is Canada’s longest running independent fashion Week. As a multi-arts organization, it transcends the traditional runway format, dedicating itself to providing an inclusive platform for Canada’s fashion and artistic communities. Under the creative direction of Tess Morgan, Fashion Art Toronto’s Fall/Winter 2026 campaign, THE CORE, brings together Toronto-based photographers, stylists, models and artists.
From November 27 to 29, FAT’s main runway program will transform Old City Hall into a two-level fashion destination. The landmark’s Romanesque architecture provides a stark, yet harmonious contrast to the contemporary fashion and experimental designs taking centre stage.

A Celebration of Canadian Artistry
Couture, streetwear, and Indigenous craftsmanship designed by more than 40 designers and brands will immerse audiences in Canadian fashion. Founder and Executive Director of Fashion Art Toronto, Vanja Vasic, offers exclusive insight into this year’s vision:
This season is about Canadian fashion taking up space… We’re bringing designers into the heart of the city, from historic landmarks to some of Toronto’s most recognizable retail addresses. Canadian fashion deserves to be visible, accessible and part of the everyday cultural life of our city. We’re not just presenting collections—we’re creating spaces where Canadian fashion can be discovered, experienced and supported”

Through a dynamic lineup of runway presentations, fashion exhibitions, large-scale art installations, photography, music and interactive experiences, downtown Toronto will transform into a vibrant celebration of Canadian artistry. Far more than a biannual fashion week, Fashion Art Toronto’s year-round programming continues to champion innovative design that blurs the lines between fashion and art, while creating vital opportunities for emerging artists.
