FERAL CHILDE presents canadian alphabet
Received a fashion show headsup from visiting NYC designers FERAL CHILDE, who tell me that they make clothes with a definite crafty touch and would love to form a bridge between Toronto & NYC crafty communities while they are here. To give you a sense of their steez, check out their website and know that they sell their wares in great places like Sodafine and Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn. Here's the scoop on their show:

FERAL CHILDE presents
THE CANADIAN ALPHABET FASHION SHOW
At The Drake Hotel
January 23, 2007, Drake Underground. 9pm , $5
Feral Childe present the premiere of their Fall/Winter 2007 collection "Canadian Alphabet" at the Drake Hotel with special musical guest Taigaa! and videos by New York artists curated by Christina Vassallo.
Feral Childe are Alice Wu and Moriah Carleson, two designers from New York City , who are currently in residence at the Drake Hotel. Their collection "Canadian Alphabet," is inspired by the cultural and vernacular characteristics of Toronto and surrounding environs. Canadian Alphabet will feature textile prints made from travel sketches produced during the residency; the resulting garments are both wearable and fantastical documentation of the people, places, and things encountered on Feral Childe's Canadian adventures. The designs created at the Drake will be the basis of their Fall/Winter 2007 collection which debuts at the Drake Hotel and then travels to New York City for the forthcoming Fashion Week in 2007.
The night opens with a short video program by Drake Curator in Residence Christina Vassallo, featuring work by New York video artists. Brooklyn based band Taigaa! will accompany the runway show and round out the evening.

Taigaa!\'s music is as wild and unconventional as the name Taiga
(Russian word meaning forest and standing for the largest biome in the
world) suggests. The sounds created take you away to a far off land
near the top of the world where heavy drums resonate for miles,
melancholy violin melodies break the snowy silence, and dark and marshy
terrain of operatic vocals mesmerize you.
