It’s official: Vancouver Fashion Week is in full swing after opening Monday with a diverse mix of sartorial offerings.
More than 50 models strutted their stuff on the catwalk at the opening gala, showcasing one look for each of the designers that will take part in the weeklong event at Queen Elizabeth Plaza in downtown Vancouver.
Although the opening show featured a number of designers, three clear trends emerged under the tent that will likely to be winding their way from the runway to high street for fall-winter 2015.
Sparkle and shine
Peruvian designer Noe Bernacelli started off the show with a gold and cream mini dress that dazzled the audience with its glitzy embellishments and heavy metallic brocade.
Meanwhile, up-and-comer Paola Gamero opted for more subtle sparkle with an ultra-feminine lace dress featuring intricate floral embroidery and metallic thread on sheer mesh sleeves.
Bold brights
Magaly Guillen, also of Peru, made a splashy entrance with a showstopper knit dress.
The highly-saturated bright red of this avant-garde number featured matching knit boots and a dramatic puffed sleeve that enveloped the model’s arm in fondant-like folds of fabric.
Zuzana Hrubos also popped with neon yellow ribbon adorning a classic black boatneck dress and matching tote.
Shades of black
Although some designers offered bursts of bold colours, black— always a chic choice— dominated the runway.

Emerging designer Alcoolique’s sheer polka dot blouse and flouncy black leather skirt was an early hit, met with hoots and hollers from a stylish crowd on the edge of their seats.
Laurence Pirnay, Nasty Habit and Hong Kiyoung also stuck to classic black, making their mark with clean lines and mod minimalism.
