@Pricilla: it seems like having a Fashion Week cheapens their cause, especially with the horrific job the previous Weeks have been. Let the work speak for itself, I say!

I’m not planning anything, I just know a lot of eco designers in this city and I strongly believe they can make it, whether they have their own fashion week or not

@Earl: thank you, earloveschips@hotmail.com. I appreciate your constructive argument and valid points.

@Pricilla: well, pricilla4prez@hotmail.com, I doubt that very much. Prove me wrong, I dare you! If you can plan an event half as well as you lip off, then you should be fine.

Eco Fashion Week Vancouver is a brand new entity. It has no connection with the management of either the Vancouver Fashion Week or the BC Fashion week. It’s unfortunate that poorly researched articles, such as this one, garner so much negative attention. Industry insiders who attended the February 19 event night,in the Vancouver Public library atrium, were encouraged and enthused by the imaginative and professional presentations. Local industry would do well to cut this relative newcomer, some slack. EFWV is a privately funded investment in Vancouve eco apparel. Some local community support would not go amiss.

I think some people are confused here: This fashion week is completely new and has no affiliation with the current Vancouver Fashion Week. To my understanding, the name has recently been revised as “Eco Fashion Week Vancouver” to try to avoid these mistakes.

It would be a good idea to first get more information about what exactly the event is about and who is behind it before making any premature judgments. Thinking like that will get us absolutely nowhere.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with the organizer yesterday, and having walked away from our meeting enlightened and pleasantly surprised, I would advise you to wait and see before throwing this whole affair to the dogs.

Lending a hand wouldn’t be bad idea either–I expect it will also pleasantly surprise a lot of people.

@Kevin: that is truly unfortunate; I’m very sorry to hear you were taken by those twits. Hopefully attention will dissuade other potential sponsors for that sinking ship of an event.

I had the high displeasure of being involved, as a sponsor, with VFW last year. I will NEVER again involve myself with this dark and dirty mess. I advise anyone interested to steer clear, unless… it is under completely new management. I was a premium sponsor, paid a lot of money, and got ZERO promotion of my business. BC Fashion Week is an alternative, but I don’t know much about them. By the way, VFW is in it’s 8 or 9th production, not 3rd. It’s unfathomable that they are able to keep it going.
