VANCOUVER, BC, April 29,
2024 /CNW/ -- Another successful Vancouver Fashion
Week has come to an end. For the FW24 season, the highly
anticipated 6-day industry event featured the latest collections
from both homegrown and international designers. As a spectacle of
diversity, creative expression, and innovation, VFW celebrates
the transformative power of fashion and is committed to bringing
together guests from all over the world, positioning the city as a
premier fashion destination.
The collections this year have been more inspiring and
boundary-breaking than ever. Highlights from the week included two
Vancouver schools - La Salle college and VCC Vancouver - having the
opportunity for ten of their pupils to showcase their collections
on the global stage of VFW.
The inaugural "Person of Impact" Award was bestowed upon fashion
educator and legend Peggy Morrison,
for her unwavering dedication, passion, and inspiration to fashion
students and trendsetters for over the past 50 years. A video with
messages of thanks and appreciation from her past students who have
now gone on to incredible careers within the global fashion
industry was aired to an enraptured audience.
Further expanding upon philanthropic efforts, ATIRA X EWMA
created a pink collection in tribute to breast cancer survivors and
to raise money for research. Contributing to and supporting a cause
that is too close to too many is a value we stand by as we attempt
to combat the disease.
And on this concluding weekend, Vancouver Kids Fashion Week
played out during the day before the final packed evenings of adult
fashion shows - proving that fashion is for every generation.
