KWANTLEN (KPU) RICHMOND: FASHION AND DESIGN TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM'S EVITE DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

Thanks to Eugenie Lin, Designer of Women's Professional Wear, (Yes, classic and perfect) for inviting me to a fabulous display of 35 emerging designers' innovative new lines for women, men and children.  This is design with a purpose: gender neutral clothes for kids, (great styles, colors and easily passed down to siblings) men's wear for the very tall, athletic wear, travel and sailing jackets and pants - all tailored and colorful, truly functional - made for comfort and stretch. Something for everyone!   Clothing and accessories for work, play, formal and informal, but most of all for beautifully active living now and in the future.  What impressed me most was the enthusiasm and excellent communication skills of these emerging designers.  Each welcomed visitors to the campus, to the exhibit and to look through highly stylized, comprehensive portfolios. We could touch the gorgeous fabrics and those buttons..(been to @ button, button, the treasure trove on Homer St., Vancouver?)  The designs, research, storyboards, style cards, business models and the why's and how's of each creation made this a stage worthy story telling evening as well as a terrific preview for the 2015 Fashion Show, Thurs. April 9, 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm at the River Rock Casino Resort, 8611 River Road, Richmond.  See more at kpu.ca/2015fashionshow.  Thanks again to Eugenie and her fellow designers for sharing your considerable achievements!  Kudos all and can't wait for April!
