Vancouver Fashion Week (November 3rd to 8th 2009) Schedule

This week is Vancouver Fashion Week. Last year we had the privilege of attending  and this time around Vancity Buzz has got you covered once again. Here is Vancouver Fashion Weeks vision:

Our vision is to create an avenue where designers, buyers, and media from East to West may connect and propose business. Vancouver Fashion Week will be an ideal event that facilitates trade and exposure for our international guests as well as highlighting Vancouver’s local talent.

As diversity and creativity is at the centrefold of Vancouver Fashion Week, this season will feature both emerging and established designers in many categories, some being street wear, aboriginal and eco-friendly designs. Known as the West Coast’s most prestigious industry event, we thrive on inviting the most creative talent.

Throughout the week check back as we highlight some of the designers and provide feedback on the show. The show start times are a bit odd as they are very early other then that it’s all good.
