ABOUT PROGRAMS
Fashion Art Toronto’s Awards and Support Programs are designed to provide meaningful access, recognition, and resources to Canadian designers and artists at different stages of their careers.
These initiatives go beyond presentation, offering production support, visibility, mentorship, and opportunities for growth both locally and/or internationally.
Through awards, exchanges, and targeted support programs, FAT invests in creative voices with strong vision, helping them develop, be seen, and create more career opportunities in the creative sector.
FASHN DSRPTR
S/S 2026
The FASHN DSRPTR Award is Fashion Art Toronto’s flagship support program for designers whose work challenges convention and expands what fashion can be.
Created to remove production barriers and elevate strong creative voices, the award offers selected designers a fully produced solo runway presentation within the official Fashion Art Toronto program.
It recognizes bold vision, conceptual depth, and experimentation using the runway not just as a stage, but as a medium for cultural, artistic, and social expression.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: August 24, 2026
