November 2 – 7th 2010 marked the 10th Annual Vancouver Fashion Week.
Celebrating established and upcoming local and international designers; a full house of fashionistas, buyers and media converged on the runway at the Empire Landmark Hotel in downtown Vancouver for 5 days of shows highlighting the work of some 30+ designers from Vancouver and around the world. This year’s shows featured designs from the fashion centres of New York and London as well as far away ateliers in Korea, Norway, Trinidad and Hawaii. As with all fashion there were hits and misses amongst the pieces shown, some very wearable for our West Coast style others definitely suited for more fashion forward cities. All were entertaining and well presented.
As well as the main event fashion shows the days also included seminars on the fashion business and each evening was wrapped up with after parties at venues around town, giving Vancouver’s fashionistas a chance to celebrate themselves and another season of the local fashion industry.
