The Jacqueline Conoir Fall Fashion Show, held April 13th, was one of Vancouver’s most prestigious annual fashion events. Fashion insiders and photographers as well as loyal followers of the Jacqueline Conoir label secured tickets well in advance of the sold out event. The line-up for the show began outside well before the seven o’clock opening.
Jacqueline Conoir has been producing fashion collections in Vancouver since 1985. According to Jacqueline Conoir designer Rozemerie Cueves, “Women’s suiting forms the backbone of the collection. “ Fall 2010 was no exception and there were many well thought out options for the professional woman. The wide range of suits seems the result of many years of design experience. Classic styles are update every season and new styles are added as a result of Cuevas’ design creativity and current fashion direction. As a result, women’s jacket suits and separate styles are up-to-date yet remain classic. They are investment pieces. Two pieces suits included softer looks as well as tailored style and choices include fitted and relaxed styles.

The most talked about dress in Vancouver Fashion Week – Drew William’s soft feathers caught between a layer of black sheer fabric and white satin. The slight weight of the feathers causes them to shift down toward the hem of the dress creating a soft bubble effect.

Eva Chen Does Glamour
Eva Chen’s collection shown last night at Vancouver Fashion Week was steeped in old Hollywood glamour. Think of Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai during the 1940’s and you will begin to get a sense of the enchantment and tasteful eroticism that is shown in this collection.

There is a moment – an intake of breath, when a woman enters a room in the perfect dress.
This is the power of the perfect dress and the perfect entrance. A magic moment happened when The True’s nude baby doll dress was revealed. Never underestimate the subliminal power of a nude colored dress and the sexy allure of the baby doll style.
