Last night amidst the cobblestone entrance to Vancouver’s Chinese Cultural Centre, Vancouver Fashion Week’s opening gala was taken over by incredible and creative street styles. The variety of classic, edgy and casual couture brought to the floor last night represented exactly the kind of unique edge Vancouver Fashion Week inspires and represents.
An array of colours made their mark, particularly through the iconic trio of friends who proved imagination is key in representing yourself through fashion. Justin Voitic grabbed attention with his simplistic and edgy long red raincoat overtop white printed jeans and a red neck-tie up blouse. Kerem Dogurga showed a darker side to fashion with a nearly all black outfit and a posh calf length leather zip-up jacket. Jason Pillay captured the chic possibilities of winter fashion. He pulled off casual black ripped jeans, white top, and an oversized pantone puffy winter coat. The three friends rolled into the opening gala event grabbing the crowd’s eyes and making us fawn in jealousy over their gallant fashion statements.
Starting off seven days of fashion and events, we saw some amazing artistic abilities displayed through outfits and we can’t wait to see what fabulous and beautiful styles we are yet to see in the upcoming days.
