3 of Toronto’s Cutting Edge Designers [FAT 2011]

Heidi Ackerman + Lindsay Sinclair

Known for her avant-garde collections, Heidi has become known in Toronto for her otherworldly designs that combine fashion forward style with the concepts and principles of sustainability. Using hand and machine knitting techniques Heidi is able to create unique textiles and prints using high end eco materials.

She’s received numerous awards for innovative design and have done several collaborations with companies including the National Ballet of Canada, Opera Erratica, Lindsay Sinclair, and NDEUR & Le Creative Sweatshop.

Zoran Dobric

Zoran Dobric established his label in 2005 after completing fashion design studies in Milan. His detailed, hand-finished pieces have been published in magazines and books all over the world.

Most known for his exclusive art inspired prints that are hand-screened and painted on both men’s and women’s wear, Dobric comes up with painstakingly constructed collections every season.


Toxic Vision

Rock, goth or pin-up designers are rarely taken seriously – but it takes a lot of creative vision and dedication to continually think-up new ways to shape, drape and customize classic creations.

Sharon “Toxic”, the hardworking gal behind her super glam rock, one-of-a-kind line Toxic Vision, handmakes and sells studded, embellished, ripped up and deconstructed custom pieces on her Etsy site. And while most of her stuff isn’t for the everyday – it’s glam rock fashion at its finest!
