A natural penchant for drama informs everything Toronto’s Farley Chatto does -- from designing couture gowns and bespoke menswear to creating costumes for an Elton John fundraising concert, an avant garde dance troupe or for a Broadway production’s debut in Canada. Well-established as an anti-establishment createur, the Ryerson- and Armani-trained Chatto defies categorization. This is, after all, the man who’s designed for Chris Noth’s Mr. Big in Sex and the City, dressed Eve for M.A.C.’s Viva Glam campaign and put Marilyn Denis in a Swarovski crystal-studded red tuxedo for the Heart Truth runway show.
Chatto is honoured to see his Cashmere BT couture masterpiece featured alongside 14 talented Canadian designers. “I am in company of an illustrious group from across the country and each are stars in their own right,” says Chatto.
