Vancouver Fashion Showcase

Vancouver has such an amazing fashion community and the Vancouver Fashion Showcase did an outstanding job at showcasing it. They partnered with Dress for Success to put together a spectacular weekend of parties and shopping. I attended the opening gala at the art gallery where 30 top fashion retailers were featured in one of the most upbeat and unique fashion shows I’ve ever seen. It started off with a Michael Jackson impersonator and featured other dancers throughout. So much fun.

Cara, who has a gown collection that would put Kate Middleton’s to shame, was my date and we enjoyed some wine, oogled over a gorgeous display of Stella & Dot jewelry and tasted some delicious cake. And of course, we chatted with some of Vancouver’s most fashionable people.
