Toronto International Film Festival 2010

I'm in Canada for the week, and with the Toronto International Film Festival starting (Sept. 9-19, 2010), I decided to blog on it. 11 days, 300 films, 300,000 tickets, and fashion galore!

More Blogs to come as the festival begins!

MAGIC

I attended WWD Magic and also Project in Las Vegas. It was like Disneyland for fashionistas, I was in Heaven. Although Magic wasn't as busy as I had expected, it was still interesting to see first hand the looks of 2011. Project, Slate and the other venues were much more enthusiastic, and packed. A mixture of edginess, hip hop and a lot of style, Slate and Project were my favorite to see. I also went through Sourcing, to see all the different countries and origins of fabric, embellishments, manufacturers, etc.

Over all it was an amazing experience, I will be back next year.

SHEPARD FAIREY

Born Frank Shepard Fairey, February 15, 1970 in Charelston, SC.

He began by creating stickers, t-shirts, posters and skateboards. In 94, a film by Helen Stickler was made called "Andre the Giant has a posse" focusing on Fairey's growing phenomenon.

Obey was born.

The infamous Andre the Giant

One of the most recognizable, symbolic and inspirational peices, of President Obama.

Fairey is well known for his anti-war art and political messages.

Fairey's work can be considered controversial due to it's theme and general messages.
