Events Description
Fashion Art Toronto officially kicks off its Spring/Summer 2026 Fashion Week with a landmark takeover of the former Hudson’s Bay / Saks Fifth Avenue flagship, transforming the iconic third floor into THE (SHOW) ROOM — a large-scale luxury retail takeover and cultural marketplace featuring 100+ Canadian brands and fashion institutions.
Free to the public during the day (10AM – 10PM), the activation reimagines the future of retail through immersive brand storytelling, installations, and direct-to-consumer experiences, opening a historically exclusive space to the wider community.
The evening continues with runway presentations by Charles Lu and L’Uomo Strano. Charles Lu delivers a two-part experience — a live behind-the-scenes fashion performance followed by a retrospective runway show spanning his career. L’Uomo Strano will present a powerful collection responding to anti-trans discrimination, using fashion as a platform for visibility and resistance.
