Toronto based designer, Nada Shepard (photo: left side), who has a self-titled women's line, Nada, unveiled her Fall 2010 collection- on the big screen. The designer's collection was viewed at Scotiabank Theatre using 3D film, the seven minute movie entitled Future Fashion/Fashion Future, featured fierce Fembots in combat.
This exploration of using different media to exhibit collections isn't new, as Gareth Pugh has shown us, displaying entire runway shows in short abstract movies, Nada has taken it to the next level with the 3D addition.
