A student and an alumna from Vancouver Community College (VCC) will showcase their wares tonight, April 9, for Vancouver Fashion Week.
Heather Cameron of Belcarra and Coquitlam’s Pearl Lui will see their final garment projects and designs on the catwalk.
Cameron’s style is meant to reflect the fluidity of butterfly wings, bringing the same colourful array to her clothing as she had as a child. Most of Cameron’s pieces are streetwear, second-hand thrift and dead materials.
