This Saturday, January 1st I will be attending the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards After Party in celebration of Canadian fashion and design. The CAFAs are a wonderful opportunity for talented Canadians designers to be recognized for their achievements. Through creating a platform to showcase fashion and design, the CAFA aims to create a stronger appreciation and market for talented Canadian designers. Canadian design needs our support more than ever and the CAFA is just one of the ways that we can ensure creative fashion business models thrive in Canada so that talent can afford to stay here!
The list of nominees is long and the categories many, but there are a few that stand out to me. My Mom and I have had the privilege of seeing many of these designers showcase their work at World Mastercard Fashion Week over the last four years and always find their shows outstanding. These talented designers need our support to continue to build their brands! The categories and nominees of most interest to me are Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong of Greta Constantine for "Womenswear Designer of the Year" and David Dixon for "Outstanding Achievement Award". I will be rooting for them both to take home their respective awards! See the full list of nominees and categories here.
The best part is, you can actually come to the afterparty for the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards! Fashion parties are always a new adventure full of excitement, daring looks and fabulous people of course! This year's attendees will include: Coco Rocha, Dean and Dan Caten, Gerry Dee, Elisha Cuthbert, Guillemo del Toro, Yasmin Warsame, Mia Maestro, John Chiles, Adelaide Kane and Jonathan Keltz. This event is also a great opportunity to schmooze with key industry attendees at the SEPHORA Beauty Lounge. Guests will be able to create their own custom lipsticks from Bite Beauty in "The Lab" and reeive touch ups from SEPHORA and Bumble and Bumble beauty experts. Visit the CAFA website here to purchase a ticket, join the party and come out to support Canadian fashion! You can still win tickets as well by visiting the CAFA blog here.
Check out some of my favorite shows/looks of Greta Constantine and David Dixon of all time. Do you have a favorite? Hope to see you there!
