Vancouver Community College (VCC) will be hosting their annual fashion gala, Fiat Mode XXIII, on September 29, 2010 at the Rocky Mountaineer Station, located at 1755 Cottrell Street in Vancouver, BC.

After placing graduates at esteemed design houses like Oscar de la Renta, the VCC show is a great place to see the future of Vancouver’s fashion industry.

This year, twenty-one graduates are preparing to highlight pieces from their collection. Students have driven design by inspiration. Take for example Karen Niven, whose designs were inspired by Manhattan in the 1950s, and Blake Hyland, whose collection is about people, places, and things.

Support the budding design community by attending the show on September 29 – doors open at 7pm and the evening gala begins at 8pm. Tickets are $35 and $25 for students. Find tickets online at www.vcc.ca/fashionshow/.
