Off site designer shows

News over in the Toronto fashion scene has been that various designers have hosted their shows off site.

From Philip Sparks (who also showed earlier this month at MFW), to Jeremy Laing, Sunny Fong, Greta Constantine, Nada Shepherd and more, they have all taken their runways away from the LG main roof.

Should this trend continue?

In other major cities that host Fashion Weeks, it is quite common, yet the shows are still considered as part of the week's schedule and program. It's not to say that there aren't shows that re hosted during the week and aren't part of the program, that statement is also true, but we are mainly referring to main clients of the fashion week, those designers that are regulars to the scene.

I wouldn't see why there would be sanctioning towards such designers that chose to host their runway off site...in fact, I feel it adds more colour and elements to the main event, making it more versatile and exciting. If Paris, London, NYC and even Montreal do it, why should Toronto be opposed??
