Vancouver is still working hard to earn its place in the
spotlight, but we have come a long way. Canadian designers are becoming more
and more recognized nationally as well as internationally. However, with many
of the “big name” designers heading elsewhere to market their lines it makes it
difficult. Hopefully the Vancouver Fashion Industry continues to grow and get
the support it needs.
As a new designer myself, I look forward to the day Kim and
I create our first collection together for Fair JAKE but for now I will have to
settle with attending VFW and enjoying the show! I personally am excited to go
check out Thursday and Friday’s shows featuring emerging and local talent. Not
only will the collections be beautiful but I will get the opportunity to show
my support to our local community.
Here’s a link to the VFW website in case you want to check
out the schedule or exhibiting designers.
And here are a few of the designers I want to check out.
