3 Emerging Designers We Discovered at Vancouver Fashion Week

Vancouver Fashion Week takes place this week in billowing white tents outside the Vancouver Art Gallery, and FASHION was on the scene earlier in the week to size up the burgeoning talent that Canada’s most athletic, outdoorsy city has to offer. We were not disappointed. These three up-and-coming designers prove there’s plenty more to Vancouver fashion than just yoga pants and fleece vests.

 

Japanese designer Sebastian Masuda has already designed for the likes of J-pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, and his colourful and kawaii designs will be sure to find fans in Japanophiles across the globe. His rave-inspired Vancouver Fashion Week collection featured totally bonkers bodysuit that looked like it was covered in Troll dolls — tiny tufts of fun fur and trinket-like toys completely carpeted the surface. The collection was suffused with a frantic, perennially young spirit.

Sarah Runnalls might just be the next Martin Margiela. Her Vancouver Fashion Week collection proved her a master of deconstruction, artfully transforming oversized oxfords into classy cocktail dresses and cheekily sewing bikini tops onto dresses. Of particular interest were the puffy polka dot garments, almost quilt-like in nature, which created structured yet cozy silhouettes.

From the moment the opening model popped open her jacket and threw the audience a saucy nod, KSLAM‘s runway show was ridiculously entertaining and heavy on the good vibes. Designer Casey Lamb, who hails from Abbotsford, BC, channelled an acid disco Grace Jones as muse, and presented a collection that was equal parts 80s-infused and avant-garde. Amidst the vibrant suiting, seat belts provided an unexpected yet fun decoration.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
