 Shadows of Strength managed by Toronto Fashion Academy. Photographer: Fynn Badgley. Creative Director: Basil Waris. Toronto Fashion Academy (TFA) proudly partnered with Canadian University Dubai to host a series of transformative fashion workshops in the vibrant heart of Dubai. Over four dynamic days, the Canadian fashion scene came alive in Dubai, guided by TFA’s celebrity instructors consisting of fashion stylists, supermodels, and makeup artists and Canadian celebrities.
The final two days were the pinnacle of this extraordinary venture. The city buzzed with excitement as the legendary Warner Bros. Batmobile took center stage, setting the scene for a breathtaking editorial shoot. Models stepped into the roles of superheroes, embodying strength and style.  The culmination of this venture was Shadows of Strength, a stunning editorial that elegantly intertwined the theme of women empowerment. On the last day, the spotlight shone on prominent Dubai socialites and personalities, highlighting their grace and influence. This standout piece celebrated the fusion of high fashion and iconic empowerment, leaving a mark on Dubai’s fashion landscape.
