So here are some of my photos from Vancouver Fashion Week 2009.  I took thousands of photos so this is only a very small sampling.  There were tons of designers too, but it’d be too crazy to post up all of my photos, even of just one of each outfit.  To get a better look at what some of the other designers have done, check out the Province:  http://www.theprovince.com/life/fashion-week09/index.html  Photos from other local photographers are posted there too.  But one thing I’ve got to say is that there’s something about seasoned fashion photographers that really irks me.  Maybe I’m just shy and need to have more of a “type A” personality.  I don’t know.  But there were a couple of other photographers I thought were way cool and they were open to talking to me, despite my lack of experience and flashy equipment.  Like Wayne Mah.  I highly recommend people hiring him.  He’s very approachable, friendly, and has gear that I covet. 

Anyways, the first few photos I’ve posted of the wedding dresses are by Giusari.  He and other Italian designers displayed their work for the Italian Consulate on the very first night of VFW.  This show was held at the Westin Bayshore.  The rest of the photos were taken from the actual runway show held at Colin Campbell, a carpeting company which helped to sponsor the big event.  The last few photos were taken today….before my camera decided to break on me.  The last collection was by Paul Hardy, a big name international designer.  From everything I had already seen, his work was my favourite.  I’m kind of heart-broken that I couldn’t document all of it….  Even more heart-broken that I can’t take pictures!!

Oh well.

…………Time to get a new camera.
