For the third time, former Project Runway winner Sunny Fong presented his latest VAWK collection (vawkcollection.ca) at the Art Gallery of Ontario on October 18, 2010. It’s undeniably a great fit for him — artistic, expressive, and architecturally jaw-dropping.

Entitled Toro Safari, the collection blends cultural cues from Spain and Africa in a highly textural collection. Real models, like 50 year-old real estate agent Helen Mara, graced the runway with oversized earrings, camel coloured attire, cargo pockets, embossed crocodile jackets, animal prints, and sizzling eveningwear that would be fun to flamenco in.

Overall, it looks like Bond Girl is going to the jungle and we approve!
