The Art of Fashion will once again hold its annual design competition during Toronto’s 2012 Nuit Blanche all-night art exhibit. This year’s design competition will take place at Hazelton Lanes in Yorkville.

As part of the competition, the Art of Fashion challenges designers to interpret and bring to life their expression of the artistic theme, “RAW”

Only 10 of Canada’s top emerging designers will be selected for a chance to participate in the Art of Fashion 2012 ‘RAW’ fashion design & exhibit competition. Vying for the titles of Most Promising Designer and Best Exhibit you will be required to create a collection of six unique outfits based on your interpretation of this year’s theme.

The finalists for the design competition will be selected by a panel of industry judges and the Art of Fashion board of directors. Combining years of expertise, the industry judging panel will cast their final vote to determine who will be awarded Art of Fashion’s Most Promising Designer 2012.

Art of Fashion is pleased to announce the 2012 judging panel
