Vancouver Fashion Week: The Runway

Here's part II of my experience at Vancouver Fashion Week:

The first five shows were by LaSalle College students and featured the designs of Melis Nur by Nur Kurban, Leigh Rose, Eunmi Kim, Jun Young Kim, and Synikal by Byron Abad. They were followed by Justin Zachary and Francesca by Pamela Ordonez. The Francesca collectino was definitely one of my favourites, and I felt like they were the most true to my style. And definitely loved the 40's hairstyles too! Lastly, my favourite collection of the evening was Mackenzie Jones featuring Danielle Cameron; if it gives you goosebumps, you know it's good!

Here are some trends I noticed on the runway:
- Peplum
- Pastels
- Coral
- Winter white

The last collection of the night was an absolutely stunning finale. It was more than just a runway show, it was a performance! The models posed and danced their way down the runway to a set of some of my favourite songs. Many people were called it the Twilight show, because the songs seemed to all be from the Twilight soundtrack. It was a very romantic performance. The detailing of the designs was beautiful and the exaggerated figures made it all seem like a beautiful fantasy. I especially loved the feather train and the tied straps on the first dress of the collection. And that last gown-wow! I recognized this one from pictures of another runway show awhile back; it's a little hard to forget those antlers... I loved the sheer straps attached to the corset: it was a lovely combination. Lastly, the men's white jacket had the look of a prince's, with it's tassled shoulders. In all-white it was very modern and classy, and definitely would make a perfect piece for a formal event.

What were your favourite collections of Vancouver Fashion Week?

Joshua Langston over at Baroque Dreams was nice enough to ask for a photo, but the photos won't be up for a little while, as his blog is currently under construction. Keep checking back for when his post on VFW is up! Lovin' those shoes!



He may have been bashful to get a photo taken, but the Lookbook photographer looked so great in the bowtie and chambray shirt we couldn't help but snap a pic!



And you can see my fabulous bestie/photographer rockin' the leather and Raybans. She picked up the shades from the Vancouver Blogger Sale a couple weekend ago! At first she didn't think they suited her, but I think they look awesome on her!



Happy Styling! xo
