Fashion Avant-Garde: Now and Then | Saturday, November 14, 7pm
To cap off the Canadian Fashion Symposium (earlier this same day), the Museum of Vancouver will host a fashion show of local Vancouver designers from different areas of contemporary fashion design (eco fashion, wearable technology, Indigenous fashion, wearable art, fashion technology, haute couture), as well as historical costumes selected by Vancouver fashion historian Ivan Sayers from his elaborate collection. The historical pieces will thematically, visually, technically, or conceptually complement the new contemporary designs. The overall theme of the fashion show is the cutting edge of fashion design today and throughout history, juxtaposing old and new, as well as high tech and low tech fashion trends and concepts.
This event is organized and curated by Dr. Katrina Sark. The Symposium and the Fashion Show are open to the public.
Date: Saturday, November 14
Time: 7:00pm
Tickets: Adults $25 | Students/Seniors $20, | Members $20. Register now!
