Also known as the ‘Gateway to Global Fashion,’ Vancouver Fashion Week kicked off in style earlier this week, previewing spring/summer 2014 collections to a fabulous mix of industry professionals, fashion lovers and celebrities such as Celina Jade and Darren E. Scott. The biannual, six-day event — showcasing both national and international emerging and established designers, including Angela Huang, Valerio Moda, Christina Exie, Regina Jessen and Elfer Castro — will unfold with sartorial splendour at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver from September 16 to 21^st, 2013.
