Saturday, March 24th<\/sup>, 2018\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Vancouver, BC \u2013\u00a0at the David Lam Hall in downtown Vancouver marked a sensational evening of design talent from across the world.<\/p>\n

Returning designer\u00a0Kirsten Ley<\/a>\u00a0stunned the crowd with a dark and powerful collection. \u2018Nero\u2019 featured a considered colour palette of blacks, neutrals, and deep greens. Sculptured leather was juxtaposed with sheer feminine features, with fitted midi skirts and\u00a0straight leg pants. An artistic expression for FW18.<\/p>\n

Blue denim chaps and contrast edge collars brought a western vibe to\u00a0Evan Clayton<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0FW 18 collection\u00a0NAUSICA\u00c4,\u00a0a visual exploration of the classic Studio Ghibli film. Flounced silk voile and crystal clear rhinestone embellishments\u00a0brought out a feminine feel\u00a0with a\u00a0muted palette of black, pewter, navy, and soft nude.<\/p>\n

KO by Katherin Olivos<\/a>\u00a0kicked off the show with a trio contemporary dance performance. This Chilean designer, inspired by the diverse landscapes from land to sea, has designed gowns that create movement featuring hand-crafted words and embroidery on heavy and light fabrics. Plus-sized models paraded their fantastical voluminous structured dresses down the runway, with elegant glitter prints catching the light. A line of showpieces, with matching headwear and makeup, the finale showcased Canadian and Chilean flag inspired looks.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the transition into the new year,\u00a0YoonKyung Jang for Korean brand\u00a0SETSETSET<\/a>\u00a0has designed\u00a0festive prints featuring graphic stripes and white florals in bright colours of\u00a0red, blue, pale pink, lime green, and yellow. Peplum waists and frilled hems give an ultra-feminine feel to fitted skirts and jackets which are paired with red tights and pointed heels.<\/p>\n

Japanese designer\u00a0Nozomi Kuwahara<\/a>\u00a0presented a playful collection in a bold colour palette of yellows, pinks, purples, and reds.\u00a0Hints of humour shine through the line with a yellow high turtleneck totally covering the face, a mock crocodile leather dress complete with eyeball embellishments, and\u00a0colourful \u2018shoe monsters\u2019 adorning the models feet. Experiments in fluffy faux fur and a red sparkly \u2018tongue\u2019 wrap around dress give a youthful feel for FW18.<\/p>\n

Eros Tolentino<\/a>, an Italian designer, featured ruffled dresses with overlapping fabrics. Inspired by the true story of 52, the loneliest whale in the world, Tolentino uses raw fabrics and oversized silhouettes to give a soft feel to an artistic, conceptual line. Basic staple pieces such as button downs, trousers, and tailleur are the fundamentals for the textile manipulations.<\/p>\n

Vancouver local,\u00a0Alex S. Yu<\/a>\u00a0returns to VFW for FW18. His unisex collection \u2018The Crimson Demur\u2019 featured loose structured silhouettes with subtle patterns. In classic Alex S. Yu style we got feminine looks with bright reds complimented by both deep and pastel pinks in mini and floor-length looks. For menswear, we saw statement bomber jackets, shorts, and pocketed T-shirts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
