As October rolls on, with it comes the long, pink parade of the usual breast cancer fundraisers. And, this year, I headed to Boobalicious. But this ain't no usual party, thank god.
Black Wool agency head Louie Manzo started the event eight years ago to honour his mother and a friend and has so far raised $50,000 for breast cancer research.
The best part?
All the actual boobs on display, courtesy of burlesque troops Skin Tight Outta Sight and Fun Buns, along with Baby Steinberg's skimpy DIY-looking ensembles, and Brazilian dancers.
And can't we all agree that we like boobs? Here's to breasts bared for a cause.

EYE WEEKLY - Ap 2009

Green Living
Planet Gorgeous
Alternative Fashion Week celebrates Earth Day in style Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week (FAT) sashays into Toronto for its fourth year, showcasing the edgy, the arty, the wearable and, for one entire day, the Earth-friendly.
"It just happened that one of the days during FAT is Earth Day [April 22]," says Vanja Vasic, executive director of FAT. "Each day's theme relates to the concept of home, so it was perfect." (Besides the Earth-themed day, "Planet," on April 22, the daily themes include "Home" on April 21, which explores history and culture, "Gutter" on April 23, dedicated to fashion's relationship to social and political issues and "Beyond" on April 24, which takes a peek into the cultural future.)
Vasic says they also decided to feature ethical fashion because so many designers were gravitating toward it. "A lot of people were naturally doing this - using eco-friendly fabrics. We were becoming more and more aware of this pattern and seeing the importance of it." She adds that FAT "couldn't even fit all the designers in" who wanted to showcase at "Planet."
The people who made it come from around the world, and also include some of Toronto 's most forward-thinking designers and artists.
Brazil-born, Toronto-based jeweller and designer Baby Steinberg has a history of working with found and natural materials, from garbage bags to cellphone parts to hemp and seeds. Her work is playful, intricate and always has the environment in mind.
Local stylist and designer David C. Wigley is known for his extravagant costuming, but here he says he's made a more wearable collection (called Worth.) with as many natural, organic materials as possible. "Fashion is an incredibly important outlet for green living. It's one of those industries that affects every single person on this planet," Wigley says. "It's really about setting the right example and being a role model."
Other local "Planet" participants include andal-lopez, Deadly Nightshades and photographer Caitlin Cronenberg (daughter of David, the legendary Canadian filmmaker).
Cronenberg will exhibit her series "In Your Nature," a mix of graphic design and fashion photography (see photo above). "I used pictures of an apple tree. a magnolia tree, even some rocks," Cronenberg says. "I just went out on 'texture walks' to see what I could find." She then superimposed models from a previous shoot in front of these outdoorsy images for an effect that's simultaneously bizarre and breathtaking.
Vasic says, "[Cronenberg's] work just naturally responded to the theme." For her, the "Planet" theme is a way of exploring how design relates to our environment. "It brings attention to innovation and shows that sustainability can be fashionable. And it's engaging for the audience, as well. It makes them think."
» Alternative Fashion Week runs April 21-24 at the Distillery District, Fermenting Cellar, 55 Mill, bldg 6. 6pm-1am. Go to www.getfat.ca for ticket and schedule information. |

BABY STEINBERG
This Brazilian born artist and entrepreneur is known on the Toronto scene for her strong fashion statements and elaborate events.
"Going back and forth between Canada and Brazil gives me my inspiration and creativity", she admits. Not known for her fondness to colder climates, she typically spends the winter season down south with an assortment of family members and friends. This is where her ideas develop and also where she buys
many of the materials she uses to make her jewelry.
She recently participated in Nuit Blanche events and the Art of Fashion Trunk Show at the Drake Hotel. Her collection can best be described as funky and bold. "It's for individuals who want to have fun with fashion accessories", she says. She's also starting work on her line of fun jewelry, with the first piece being a necklace strewn with five small rubber chickens.
One of her main objectives is to be as environmentally friendly as possible. She works with various natural products such as hemp, seeds, and other fibres. Out of this passion for green has evolved her "Garbage Garments" designs of costumes made of recyclable materials. She uses everything from plastic bags and used appliances, to shredded clothing and cardboard. One of her creations was a gown made exclusively of cell phone parts and accessories, which was recently purchased by a shop on Queen Street for their window display. "I want to be able to design more show pieces for bars and shops in the city, and I'm
open to suggestions and ideas", she states.
The public will have an opportunity to view and purchase some of her collection at the Reception Launch being held on October 24th at Koma Designs, 1239 Queen Street West, from 8pm to 11pm. As well, her work can be seen at the Meet My Art Fashion Show happening on October 30th at Wrongbar, 1279 Queen Street West, starting at 9pm.
