Two words you may not expect to start a fashion show summary: Flash and Mob.
To kick off The Art Institute of Vancouver’s Paparazzi Fashion Show, students, teachers and two seriously talented hip-hop dancers took turns jumping out of their seats and gettin’ down.
The Paparazzi show presented the final collections of The Art Institute’s fashion design grads. Still an AI student myself, it was inspiring to see semesters of, not really blood, but definitely sweat and tears, come to life on the catwalk.
I swear on my Steve Madden oxfords I hold no bias. The show was terrific! Each designer created three looks, and was given the freedom to be authentically themselves.
There were red carpet-worthy dresses, rock n’ roll patchwork, tulle gowns and a dash of menswear. Did I mention the wired, pompom skirt? These budding designers literally leaped outside the box.
Congratulations to the fashion design grads! Keep your eyes peeled for them, folks.
