Offsite: FASHION WEEK | L'uomo Strano | Hudson's Bay

Former Hudson’s Bay / Saks Fifth Avenue, Toronto

Presenting Designer: L’Uomo Strano

Toronto-based creative label L’Uomo Strano explores the intersection of fashion, identity, and social futurity through sculptural garments, experimental textiles, and radical self-expression. Known for pushing beyond traditional runway formats, the brand creates emotionally charged worlds where fashion becomes art, performance, and cultural dialogue.

Fashion Art Toronto launches Fashion Week by transforming one of Toronto’s most iconic fashion landmarks into a one-day cultural fashion takeover.

10 AM–10 PM | 3rd Floor, Former Saks Fifth Avenue
Free and open to the public

The former Saks designer floor becomes an all-day Canadian showroom featuring independent brands, emerging designers, and leading fashion organizations. Guests are invited to shop, explore exhibitions, experience installations, discover archive pulls and rental pieces, and move through immersive storytelling environments.

Participating organizations include Style Canada, Indigenous Fashion Arts, Black Designers of Canada, TMU, and more.

Throughout the day, media, stylists, tastemakers, and Toronto’s creative community will move through the space, making this one of the city’s most exciting fashion networking moments.
