An hour before Sunny Fong’s Vawk show, hundreds of the Project Runway Canada winner’s fans waited in the front of the AGO on Dundas. At 4 pm, they flooded into Walker Court and Fong sent out 12 looks that drew on tattoo motifs and a Mutiny on the Bounty theme for the punch out floral pattern on leather pieces and the captain-styling of silk cotton jackets.
Considering that it was the aggressive, Alexander the Great-inspired feeling of his PRC lineup that won Fong his following and the $100,000 prize, this spring presentation felt too short and sweet. There is no denying Fong’s cut and taste level though. Hopefully he puts them to work on a gutsy, full sized collection for next fall.
