Geek Chic 2019 is over!

 

Geek Chic City 2019 is over! A huge thanks goes out to everyone that showed up to make the evening full of an abundance of good vibes and love.

Shout outs to designers Kedre Designs, by Afua, Cultivated Clothing Company, and this year’s winner, The Universe Sucks, for spending their time to share their creative visions with us.  

Judges Star (@thatqueenstar) and Angel (@angelsndemonscosplay) graciously took the weight of deciding the night’s victor on their shoulders while serving us LOOKS in the process.

We also need to thank all of the wonderful models who made the event what it was! Thank you all for sharing your positive energy and good vibes with our guests and each other to make the show a success!

Also, many praises due to Eyeda Sophia for her captivating delivery of material off of her record The Red Project! If you can’t wait to see Eyeda again, or missed her performance, you’re in luck:

Eyeda will be hosting a spooky Hip Hop + Anime Halloween on Oct 30 at Unit 2. Check out this link for more information!

Photographers Rachel Clarke (@ray.chillz), Devon Ross, and David (@david.e.photographer) took some amazing shots over the course of the night. In addition to shooting the runway and setup, Rachel Clarke blessed us with an incredible photoshoot room where everyone had an opportunity to show off their Blue-Steel. 

Our stomachs owe a huge thank you to Jeffrey from Atomtree Wellness for keeping us fed with delicious vegan eats! Who knew fashion was so could make you so hungry? 

The always-incredible journalist and member of The Avengers™, Al Donato (@al.donato) gracefully guided us through drum rolls, the runway, and technical hiccups while making everyone feel included and welcomed. Thank you for holding it all the way down!

Toronto artist Bliptor helped our models werq the runway with the perfect dosage of fashion-worthy tunes. For more of Bliptor’s tasty sounds, check out C’mon Sis TONIGHT at The Beaver.

We are so thankful for everyone that came out to celebrate in the spirit of inclusive, geeky, fashion! Even the simple act of coming out and participating in an event like Geek Chic City helps to validate and fortify the space for others in the future.

We also owe Another Reality a resounding “hurrah” for sponsoring the event and providing some VR fashion design at GCC! Another Reality is a new space that combines new and experimental technologies such as virtual reality, projection mapping, and robotics, with timeless traditional games to create a new and memorable experience for visitors. Another Reality is opening on October 22nd, but you can book now!

Until next year!
