Best of Vancouver Fashion Week

Represented by EBConsults.

Working with designers from Anna Fendi to Dolce and Gabbana, Davide Grillo, founded his own brand based on the poetics of craftmanship and uniqueness of traditional processes.

To end the Italian trilogy, Davide Grillo’s ethereal models floated down the runway in long flowy dresses. The models looked like goddesses as classical italian music echoed throughout the room embodying the timeless and classic nature of the brand. The collection was a wash of pastel colors featuring opulent lace and silk fabrics.

Davide Grillo

Grillo’s extensive background in the fashion industry included being selected as a finalist for Vogue Italia and having his collection at various fashion weeks, makes it an absolute honor to see him at Vancouver Fashion week.

Celine Haddad

Celine Haddad is a French Lebanese designer whose raison d’etre is to challenge societal norms. Rebellion is a voice of empowerment and inspiration to question tradition. Lilac was the chosen colour for the range of blazers, skirts and see-through tops. The resistance came in the form of utility holsters and belts – nontraditional accessories that represented Haddad’s fight against conformity. An oversized shirt with a cutout back, blazers paired with workout tights, hoodies and shorts – these were Haddad’s imagination of the urban woman.

Diabla

In the first of a quintet of Bolivian brands to showcase at VFW, Diabla opened the runway with a fashion line inspired by Bolivian traditions, folklore and heritage. With a focus on creating pieces for the modern woman, Diabla’s handmade garments seamlessly blend traditional style with modern functionality. The SS20 collection is filled with beautiful and delicate beading, dazzling fringe and elegant silk and chiffon pieces. The traditional music playing transports onlookers to the Bolivian village where the clothing is created. Diabla’s use of rich jewel tones and shimmering gold lends the collection an undeniable elegance about it. With pants and jackets, evening gowns and shawls all complemented by matching accessories from hand bags to hair pieces and beautifully beaded shoes, Diabla’s SS20 collection has all the pieces a woman needs to complete a fashionable look.

Carla Quiroga

What reasons do we have to be brave? Shined on the screen for Carla Quiroga’s introduction. The next Bolivia-based brand gave the runway a taste of South American style—accented with tassels and ombré effects. Carla Quiroga’s womenswear and menswear was starting with the intention to produce apparel made in Bolivia, in support of the Bolivian labour market. The S/S20 collection mainly consisted of lightweight knits and netting, featuring skirts and pants with a flare we usually see on salsa dancers. The looks infused pastel colours of pinks, purples, mint green, light orange and green, with knitted handbags to match.

Papingo Maminga

The Bolivian duo of Marco Gutiérrez and Daniel Ghetti and their label, Papingo Maminga, are challenging the way Bolivians dress. Their journey to Vancouver played on screen: from dressmaking to visa applications, to flights. A top with an enlarged Bolivian passport print announced their arrival. Kitsch, 80s colour, and rainbow bands wrapped around sleeves and pant legs morphed into a hybrid line of high street and modern fashion. In the middle of the collection was a shift to cocktail gowns and Royal Ascot dresses. They closed with a homage to Bolivia: postcards of tourist attractions were tacked to form a jacket and long hemline skirt.

NARDA Bolivian Handmade

NARDA Bolivian Handmade presented a captivating collection of luxury handmade shoes. The To Be Seen collection could not be missed. Handcrafted in Bolivia, each piece was a statement of individualistic expression. Inspired by the Panthera Onca or Jaguar that inhabits the Bolivian Amazon. In nature, the Jaguar camouflages itself with rose spots to blend into its jungle habitat. The collection was defined by its refined palette of pinks, nudes and greens. Hints of metallic made up of engraved beef leather meant to mimic jaguar spots refused to blend in with the crowd. A contemporary twist on classic oxfords, platforms and pumps that were eloquent yet unapologetic.

La Espina

As Bolivia continued to reign on the runway, La Paz based brand La Espina, founded by Vania Rodriguez in 2014, brought ethical fashion to Friday’s show. The native Aymara people live in the high plateaus of the Andes where they worship gods of the earth, wind, and skies. Alax Pacha told the Aymara idea of a “world above” – of deities, divine consciousness, and purity. Models walked barefoot as if touching holy ground. Rodriguez clearly envisioned a young, innocent woman: a white laced dress; a golden pencil skirt; floral headbands. Her most dramatic look ended the train of angelic beings: a beige vinyl jacket with an upturned collar that brought you back down to earth with a touch of defiance.

DAHNA

DANHA is the namesake brand of Korean Danha Kim founded in 2018. With roots in Hanbok style (traditional Korean outfit for semi-formal/ formal occasions), it is evolving into a haute couture house with a focus on sustainability. Soft colours of pink, blue and green painted the models in a demure light. Well-constructed puffy layered skirts and short jackets combined into a silhouette reminiscent of the late Joseon Dynasty (an important period in Korean history) – think a magistrate’s dress. Kim draws her inspiration from historical artifacts, while staying modern with recycling fabrics. DANHA is part of a global phenomenon in introducing the Hanbok into contemporary fashion.

Feelomena

Feelomena was next to present their 2020 collection, which was largely inspired by the traditional martial art of Japanese Samurai. Creator Filomena Saltarelli used traditionally male fabrics to create delicate, billowing dresses that mesmerized the crowd. With razor sharp 90 degree cut outs and strategic cinches and straps, Saltarelli plays with the dichotomy of stationary versus non-stop movement, tactical versus gentle. Contrasting minimalism with glamour, glimpses of geometric and fur-heeled shoes peeked out beneath the vast billows of fabric, offering a glimpse at Saltarelli’s breadth of skill. With a clean, dark palette as the beating heart of the brand, layered swaths of navy blues and greys provided a surge of colour that wouldn’t hit the same in any other context than that which is Feelomena.

Dogpound Donates $5,000 to Susan G. Komen Foundation

Represented by Company Agenda.

Sometimes it seems that — sooner or later — everyone’s life will be touched by breast cancer, with a shocking quarter-of-a-millon new cases diagnosed every year in the United States alone. (It’s also a disease that personally touched us, when our friend Christine was diagnosed this past July.) On a recent fall night in NYC, modeling agency The Lions NY, the fabled Dogpound gym, new luxury ride-share company Gravity, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation gathered to help bring awareness to breast cancer for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time created to help those affected by breast cancer and promote early detection.

On the Gravity Technologies rooftop in Chelsea, Lions talent Kendall Visser, Ana Van Patten, Janaye Furman, and Aya Jones participated in a Dogpound-led workout.

The Dogpound is a gym that boasts members such as Hugh Jackman, Ashley Graham, numerous Victoria’s Secret models, Ryan Seacrest, and many other celebs.

Dogpound hoodies and select Tory Sport items were given out to all participants.

The workout was followed by a revitalizing and centering Kundalini meditation session led by Siri Sat Kaur, also attended by Lions model Gabby Westbrook.

In an exciting culmination to the evening’s events, Kip Myers presented a donation of $5,000 from the Dogpound to the Susan G. Komen Foundation!

Pierre Mantoux Launches the First Sustainable Collection

To mark 60 years of tights it presents Warm Effect: the stockings made from coffee that preserve natural heat

Represented by Guitar PR & Advertising.

Pierre Mantoux, the historic Made-in-Italy hosiery maison focuses on technology and launches Warm Effect, the first sustainable line made with thermo insulating yarn derived from coffee, which is able to capture and preserve the body’s natural heat to warm the wearer. A collection made up of tights, leggings and knee-highs, that looks towards the future to mark the 60th anniversary of tights.

The new luxury is conscious shopping and Pierre Mantoux sets out the new path for tights by designing a model that combines innovation and Italian know-how, comfort and commitment to the future. An offering that responds to the needs of the contemporary woman, exacting not just in terms of style but also value.

“The tights are made in partnership with the Israeli company Nilit, a leader in the high-quality clothing yarn sector, and with its Heat, a special yarn created with charcoal from coffee, whose key characteristic is that it guarantees natural insulation and maintains the body heat of the wearer, even at the coldest temperatures” commented Costanza Ferraris, product & production director.

A unique stocking – insulating, thermal, high-performing, sustainable, which maintains body heat even at the coldest temperatures – dedicated to women, conscious of the fact that real luxury is being respectful of the environment.

Indeed, Pierre Mantoux is a company at the cutting edge and – at the international LYCRA® Fiber Moves conference – it was the only Italian company awarded a prize, receiving the Creativity Innovations Award. “Fashion, tradition and innovation: these are the characteristics of our future-facing company, remaining faithful to Made in Italy, to present us to international markets in a competitive and distinctive way,” added Chiara Ferraris, export manager.

Tights continue to be the protagonists of the evolution of a family brand that is well-known on the international scene, and that still to this day, makes and produces a spectacular lifestyle only and exclusively in Italy, ranging from beachwear to pret à porter, always continuing, of course, to focus on its core business, hosiery.

Protagonist of the entire evolution of tights, after 85 years of history, Pierre Mantoux inaugurates a new phase in the hosiery segment and in 2019, the year it celebrates the 60th anniversary of tights, launches the first sustainable collection. Important stages, that have always made the maison a touchstone for international celebrities – from Lady D to Kate Middleton – and for the most important international maisons.

Pierre Mantoux is a family company that for over eighty years has been operating and acting in accordance with certain indispensable values: exclusivity, tradition, innovation and Made in Italy. Founded in the 1930s with Industria Lombarda Calze a Telaio, it made tights famous with its Velatissimo Top Stretch – the sheer stocking created and sold in 56 colour variants – that ended up, between technological innovations and creative turns, exporting its products to 50 countries (60% of revenue is produced abroad) through 250 points of sale including stores, single-brand stores (Milan, Genoa, Shenzhen, Taipei, Taichung), corners and shops-in-shops in the principal luxury department stores of the calibre of Galeries Lafayette, Harvey Nichols, Slefridges, La Rinascente, Bon Marché, Neiman Marcus, Shinsegae Isetan and Fenwick.

The Chinese Fairy Coloratura Soprano

This September, runway designer Vivienne Hu debuted her spring summer 2020 collection and introduced American vocalist Elle Varner and Chinese “fairy coloratura soprano” Chang Sisi who both opened her new spring/summer collection. They performed Varner’s “Only Wanna Give It To You.”

Growing up, Chang Si Si has always loved singing. She started professional training at the age of 15. At that time she was exposed to coloratura. She started to perform in front of a broader audience and collected awards from numerous music festivals at the young age of 20. Shortly after, her composer composed a lot of coloratura pieces. Her audience quickly gravitated towards it and associated her with the nickname ”the fairy coloratura soprano.” She became the youngest artist to hold a solo-concert at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in China at the age of 24. That same year she was appointed as the youngest vice-chairman of the Shandong Province Musician Association.

Vivienne Hu Studio

Chang Si Si was honored to perform at Vivienne’s show and was very excited when Vivienne proposed a duet between her and Elle. Although she is known as a classical singer, she is also fascinated by pop music, where she takes the time to train herself to be more versatile in the music industry. She felt very confident as she could feel all the audience’s eyes on her when she sang the first note. Despite the fact that she had only five days to learn the song, she enjoyed the collaboration and deemed it to be a successful one. This was not her first fashion show experience. She has actually performed at another show and received a lot of positive feedback from press and media. “Xuanjin” is the song she performed during Vivienne’s show, and is one of her favorite pieces. “Xuan” in Chinese means dazzling. “Jing” denotes a state of peacefulness and corresponds to the chanting part in the song. For future endeavors, she has upcoming performances at international movie festivals in Macau and South Korea. This year, she will also participate in a concert with her mentor and friends in Canada. Her advice for aspiring artists would be to keep learning. As an old adage goes, “good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation.” A lot of effort goes into achieving any goals – always aim to be a better self through consistent learning and practice.

When Robin and Karen first visited Congo and learned of the unimaginable struggles of many women in the area, they were compelled to create a product that would not only provide comfort for their customers, but also security for women living in conflict regions.

The fashion industry is changing; what needs to be acknowledged is environmental protection and fashion are intrinsically interconnected. At the moment, human right abuses, gender inequality, and ecological degradation remain a constant threat in our society. Fashion brands are making considerable efforts to keep up with the demands of sustainability. When we look at this objectively, why are the big fashion houses re-writing their CSR initiatives to capture the attention of millennials, while still deploying content that undermines sustainability?

Do you know what sustainability is, and why it is so essential in the fashion community? Sustainable clothing is safer for people and the environment, by avoiding any materials that contain carcinogens, toxins, or other harmful chemicals. — clothing is made through sustainable practices that reduce water consumption and waste production.

As the fashion industry adopts sustainability practices, fashion magazines are now surrendering to the idea. Recently, Reverie, a small media company in New York announced Page Magazine, the first sustainable fashion magazine offering made-to-order prints. Page Magazine represents an enhanced global resource for sustainable brands while partnering with creative professionals to curate and create content that focuses on sustainability and inclusivity.

For those interested in sustainable fashion, free magazine subscriptions are available through various resources.

“Page Magazine will be the first truly sustainable fashion magazine. Our print issues will be made to order. But most importantly, we want to provide insight into fashion that is palatable for any fashion enthusiast who wants a grounded outlook on fashion. We intend to humanize fashion while informing and enlightening our readers.” – Cassell Ferere, Editor-in-Chief.

Page Magazine will be the first truly sustainable fashion magazine

Founded here in NYC by Cassell Ferere, the magazine began as a passion project dedicated to the idea of filling the void of the miss-informed. The idea here is to focus on responsible fashion and conscious living catering to fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle. Page Magazine aims to inspire as much as informing through original content by answering questions about sustainability and a conscious lifestyle.

In an age where pop culture is just as crucial as world-culture, the dissemination of content is changing. Reverie: Page is a millennial magazine dedicated to the development and success of current and emerging designers. Eliminating the idea of trends while focusing on style and helping readers create their own fashion culture.

Joseph Benjamin Creative Director of Public Relations, said, “we focus on interviews about the internal dialogue of a person more than their external markers of success. We believe success is often the closing chapter of an individual’s professional story. We are interested in the beginning and the middle sections of someone’s story, this is often- where people struggle, learn, and grow.”

Page Magazine was created to inspire sustainable efforts within the fashion community. Integrity is essential, and Page understands that people don’t want to be told what to do or how to do it. ” Fashion is pop-culture; we are not here to control the perception of style, trends, or buying habits. Fashion and culture should start with an unbiased perspective.” Said Cassell Ferere.

AREA Spring Summer 2020

Represented by Ritual Projects.

For this season designers Beckett Fogg and Piotrek Panszczyk wanted to create a world that examines adornment, embellishment, volume and personal identity.

Cultural travel and exchange

The starting point of the collection was the idea of a name plate necklace. Historically pioneered by African Americans in the 80’s and 90’s to express individuality, AREA examined this idea by translating their brand name into different languages. They incorporated the name plate throughout the collection creating garments made of jewelry, a play between logo branding and individuality in a global context.

 
AREA

[portfolio_slideshow id=86485 align=center width=699 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false]

They continued this idea developing intricate laser cut shirts, pants, leather straps on shoes and handbags, and later broderie anglaise fabric.

Romantic Neo-Victorian modernism

AREA continued their historical journey going back to Victorian cage constructions ancient arabesque metal work, armor and wire sculptures and started translating these shapes into metal cup chain dresses with cage like 3-D godet inserts. Creating voluminous armor-like dresses that echo the female body and its curves hinting at couture.

50’s & 60’s Americana

Domesticated suburbia becomes couture with patterns like Vichy, gingham and florals. Classic patterns like gingham morph into a ‘A’ shaped gingham houndstooth, as an update on the graphic black and white pied de poule from last season. 50’s and 60’s volumes are distorted creating twisted lady-likeness.

Satin organza is draped in cocoon like ruffles and created into faux fur spaghetti strips that resemble hair and fur. Liberty and ‘Laura Ashley’ florals are translated into sensual summer crèpe and iridescent signature lame’s giving them a futuristic update. Hand-doodled flowers are translated into rich colorful crystal chain motifs, that are woven together into lavish crystal cup chain garments and adornments carried out from accessories handbags and make up.

The exploration of gender roles and clichés. We later hinted to masculine corporate clichés like beards translated in cage like crystal. The female embellished in masculinity. Crystal beards oversized shirting tailoring and ties.

AREA created an otherworldly universe with a free-spirited sense of 70’s and experimental couture.

American Vintage Tributo Alla Tee-shirt Blanc

Represented by Guitar Advertising & PR.

Immortalized in London, our trio of friends explores the idea of freedom applied to clothing for autumn-winter 2019-2020.

London Incognito

Some will recognize the features of Angèle Metzger, who we already spotted in the streets of Marseille for summer 2019, captured by the lens of photographer Julia Champeau and the camera of Thomas Lachambre. Now accompanied by Mathilde Warnier and Connor Newall, she forms a new clique that reclaims the urban setting. We follow this inseparable trio through the alleys and stalls of a London in slow motion, almost shot incognito.

Street life

Under the bold lights of the city, their smiles warm up winter and echo the bright shades of their endlessly layered fabrics. Hyacinth, bush, clementine, stormy grey. Nestled in these knits and canvases that they’ll keep all their lives, their bodies revel in new freedom and celebrate comfort designed to last. Urban, natural, unisex and always timeless, their relaxed movements reveal each personality and never conceal it. For truly personal clothing to keep forever.
