Italian Fashion Week is a Toronto based event celebrating the artistry of Italian fashion and presenting some of Italy's finest brands. Moda Danza - Art in Motion took place in a Glass Factory on Thursday, April 14, 2011.

A unique event showcasing an exquisite fashion in a spectacular way, combined two worlds together: fine fashion and contemporary dance. The show was full of passion and emotions, creative and artistic - something very different from the usual catwalk shows. An excellent performance by talented dancers from Pro Arte Danza, great choreography and interesting concept behind the show made it a very successful event. The performance, filmed by Fashion Television, was followed by a cocktail party.

"Pro Arte Danza was founded by former National Ballet of Canada dancer and renowned choreographer Roberto Campanella. It is a new, unique, visionary dance company, created to showcase the best choreographers and dancers from both ballet and modern dance backgrounds. The fusion of two such diverse disciplines celebrates the vibrant potency of both and demonstrates that choreography can bridge the common divide between each art form."
