Looks From Vancouver Fashion Week, Day 2, 2016

Only able to get to a tiny bit of Vancouver Fashion Week, this season, so I was pleased to see Blanche Macdonald, another of our fabulous Design Schools, as the opener. As Bill Cunningham, NYC Street Photographer, always said, "You have to see the kids - marvelous!" And they were everywhere - look at them saying "Come on in and see what we have for you!"

See the complete line up at Vancouver Fashion Week Day 2.  Congratulations Designers!

Here are a few of our other Blanche posts! Blanche and Blanche Windows!

Thanks VFW for another great memory!

The Blanche line up included previous VFW runway designers: Evan Clayton, Sara Armstrong, Alex S. Yiu, setting the pace for newcomers: Chloe Prusa, Dasha Volokhova, Garret A.exander Elphee, Kari Appelquist, Maryam Asgari, Li Liu and Maryam Niyazi1. Blanche students keep the corner of Robson, across from the library, a vibrant resource for fashionable comings and goings, hair and beauty ops, window dressing and much more. As in their runway shows, always playing it forward, setting a strong, confident line up and providing hope for fabulous designs for all of us.

Jamal Abdourahman, Founder and Producer of VFW, in its 28th season now, 

supervises every detail and makes sure that the show goes on, without 

a hitch. People get seated on time, registration is efficient and welcoming 

and the array of local and international talent is well represented.
