The beautiful AGO was the setting for the first Spring/Summer show at Toronto’s LG Fashion Week, featuring Project Runway winner Sunny Fong’s Vawk collection, titled Tattoo Hibiscus.
From silk Polynesian dresses in stunning yellow and orange colours to fringes and cut-out leaf textures, the small yet refined collection takes the wearer on a voyage to French Polynesia. Apropos given Vawk was inspired by the 1935 Oscar winning film starring Clark Gable, Mutiny on the Bound . We love the feminine recreation of the Captain’s coat. It’s pure genius.
