Here’s What You Missed at Fashion Art Toronto Fall 2025
It’s that time of year again when Canadian fashion aficionados come together for a week of sartorial splendour. There’s an anticipatory hum in the air as attendees wait for the shows to begin. Guests pose for photos, staff sprint backstage and models wait anxiously for their cue. As the lights fade to black, the room goes quiet. Fashion Art Toronto (FAT) Fall 2025 is officially here.
Known for being the longest-running Toronto fashion week, FAT is a force in Canada’s fashion industry. The biannual runway event recently celebrated its 20th anniversary in the spring and is back and better than ever for the fall season. From spotlighting up-and-coming Canadian designers to fostering an inclusive community of creatives, there’s no other event quite like it.
Mario Fugnitto
This year, FASHION partnered with FAT to present Mario Fugnitto’s Spring 2026 collection. The line was rich with all things leather, from bodices and trousers to accessories and headscarves. The pieces were abstract and form-fitting, like wearing a sculpture on the body. Mario Fugnitto leaned into classic neutrals like black, brown and grey with the occasional pop of red and blue. As the models walked their final round, the person next to me leaned in and whispered, “This is the best Canadian show I’ve seen.” I can’t think of a more powerful way to kickstart the last day of FAT.
As the spotlights faded for the last time, hoots and hollers erupted across the room with celebratory hugs to ensue. After all, a seven-day fashion spectacle is no small feat, but FAT pulls it off with ease and keeps us eager for the next season to roll around.
