Get on your Anna Wintour glasses and lace up your Link tunic y’all, because on October 13^th-14^th 2018 the Geek Chic City Fashion Summit is upon us! Being the first of its kind, we have some really fun panels and activities in store to get you tip top on what inspires the culture.

Have you ever wondered how the clothes characters wear in games inspire real-world fashion—or even vice-versa? This is the summit for you and more. We’re planning on covering the geek fashion industry through the eyes of people who populate it. There’s plenty to learn and appreciate from these artists.

But wait! There’s more! Geek Chic City (GCC) is a fashion show and cosplay contest dedicated to expressing and recognizing the intersection of dance, videogames, fashion, street, and geek culture. Also, performances by Mississauga’s own Ground Illusionz and City Centre Dance you won’t want to miss!

Here’s a few details on what’s to be expected at the summit:

• Cosplay Contest — Winner receives an 8-hour crash course with fashion designer Zahirah Q
• Fashion Show — Local fashion designers duke it out the old-fashioned way for storefront opportunities around the GTA
• Panels — qtbipoc Sauga and Hand Eye Society team up to deliver a combo of panels discussing the creation of fashion in both the physical and digital worlds
• More — Dance performances, an arcade, workshops, a breakdance battle.

Tickets are PWYC! You can grab yours on Universe here.

We would also like to offer a special thanks to the masterful Alison Cherry for our incredible poster!
