Fashion. Week. Enough said?
So BCFW has rolled around again, with some truly amazing designers and pieces, including Evan & Dean (simply amazing) who played with mainly blacks, whites, browns, and burgundies. I absolutely love these guys, they design for a full range of body types and truthfully, black-satin-high-necked-ruffle-fronted dresses? How can you not adore them?
Jacqueline Conoir, a very established Vancouver designer, known largely for her businesswomen and classy casual designs, ventured deeper into formal wear this year with flowing satin dresses, which were gorgeous by the way. Then the usual suspects blazers and skirts and high wasted slacks, mostly in earth tones with splashes of vibrant colors here and there.
And Nicole Bridger, another Vancouver favorite, who indecently won “Generation Next” last year and was chosen to showcase her designs this season. She specializes in sustainable and organic fabrics. I believe eco-conscious people deserve a hug and/or a large sugary confection of their choosing. Her garments this season were the wonderful everyday wearable kind that make me smile, wide legs and loose neckline seem a favorite this year and she has capitalized on it.
Final favorite of BCFW would be…Mellinda-Mae Harlingten (or MMH) she walks the thin line between hip retro and tacky retro, a line a enjoy strolling down every now and then, florescent tones and the ever popular high waisted skirts, with button down shirts, interesting textures and by golly: buttons. Altogether very nice.
