Congratulations Kat Sark and Gregory Dreicer for a wonderful evening of now fashions by local designers, matched up with then fashions, similarly inspired, from the fantastic collection of Ivan Sayers. Kat organized and curated this event which certainly demonstrated that great design continues. After each outfit was presented, Ivan Sayers matched each with one containing similar elements, from his own extensive collection of 18-20th century treasures.
This was a delightful extension of the one day Fashion Symposium, which featured networking opportunities, lectures and workshops by and for Fashion Scholars, Designers, Industry Professionals and anyone else interested in the subject, the processes, the resources and more. It was widely advertised, free to the public and yet another example of the dynamic world of fashion, both here, and across Canada.
This fabulous evening ended with refreshments and a chance to congratulate all involved in this wonderful fashion immersion!
Ellen Legro references Navajo Design, geometrics and turquoise stone
veining and coloring in her work. She hand dyes, too.
