Last night I attended an exclusive Fashion Event put on by Flare magazine and Wear Else (This Vancouver store sells lines like Pink Tartan, Nanette Lepore, Trina Turk, Theory, Michael by Michael Kors, Tracy Reese, Teenflo and Michael Stars to name a few!, oh and Cole Haan and one of my faves, Juicy!). I drank a few Frambois-tinis and enjoyed the fashion show.

Some of the trends hit up on included the return of big shoulders (not necessarily padded, but dramatic) and hosiery of all sorts, including leggings in denim and leather. There was also a short discussion on how fashion is relevant in down economies as an important form of self expression.  (Of course we all know that Fashion is forever!) 

Also found out that Rodarte will be the next designer to team up with Target stores for their Go International limited collection.  Apparently there’s going to be a great collection of holiday dresses.  I love holiday dress shopping! (They’ll be available from Dec. 20 – Feb 6, so mark your calendars!, and don’t forget that in just a few days (Sep. 13) Anna Sui’s Gossip-Girl inspired collection hits Target as well!)

It was a fun night – Caught a few glimpses of Local celebs – Dawn Chubai of Vancouver’s BT (Breakfast Television) MC’d the event,  as her clothes on BT are from Wear Else.  Also saw Fiona Forbes, another Vancouver TV personality (Shaw TV’s Urban Rush).  See pics
