Vancouver Music & Fashion Festival puts Vancouver ecofashion designers front and centre


Looks like February 19 is shaping up to be something of an unofficial Ecofashion Day here in Vancouver. In addition to the evening’s much-anticipated Vancouver Ecofashion Week fundraiser, another ecofashion event is set to wow audiences earlier in the day.

The Vancouver Music & Fashion Festival will showcase the Spring/Summer 2010 collections of local ecofashion labels Flora & Fauna, Lela Designs, Nicole Bridger Designs, Movement Global, Lav & Kush and Red Jade at Barcelona Ultra Lounge Friday starting at 4 p.m. Throughout the fashion show, hear performances by local musicians Alexandria Maillot, Elephant Train, The Matinée, Wakefield Drive and Versus The Nothing.

The festival, which runs February 18–21, is a celebration of music and fashion featuring established and up-and-coming designers, and is presented by seemingly eco-affectionate Vancouver Fashion Week. Visit the website to find a schedule of events, as well as a listing of all the participating designers and musicians throughout the weekend.
