This past month has been nothing short of incredible in the world of fashion, thanks to the expanded reach of Fashion Splash, which covered three distinct municipalities this year. The festivities kicked off in the heart of the City of Victoria, where we hosted the exclusive VIP Splash pre-party and launched our online auction. This set the stage for a month of style, creativity and community engagement.
We then transitioned to View Royal for the next phase of our fashion extravaganza: the thrilling runway show. This was no ordinary runway show, but instead a celebration of local talent, innovation, and design. With over 11 designers presenting their unique items on the runway, it was a feast for the eyes and a testament to the creativity and talent that thrives on our Island. Completing our fashion journey, we landed in Vic West for the final event: the Designer Art Market. This was where fashion met art, and the result was a stunning showcase of vision, craftsmanship, and style. These events do more than just celebrate fashion. They serve a dual purpose of elevating Vancouver's emerging fashion scene and raising much-needed funds for the Victoria Women's Transition House. This year, we outdid ourselves, raising just over $6000. This was our most successful year ever, and we are immensely proud of this achievement. We were thrilled to welcome over 220 guests at our events, making it the best-attended local designer show on the Island. The atmosphere was electric with excitement, admiration, and appreciation for the incredible talent on display. None of this would have been possible without the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers. From those welcoming guests at the front door to the models strutting their stuff on the runway, the hair and makeup artists making sure everyone looked their best, the setup and takedown crew ensuring everything ran smoothly, and our gracious MC keeping the energy high - every single person played a crucial role in our success. Fashion Splash is more than just an event; it's a testament to the power of community, creativity, and charity. We can't wait to see what next year will bring!

West Coast way of thinking is evident in the clothes we create and the fashion trends that locals follow. Living in harmony with our environment is important to us, and being on the coast makes it easier, given the breathtaking beauty of the place. Fashion Splash began in 2014 at the Ship Point Pier in the Inner Harbour of Victoria, outdoors and on the water. Initially, there were only a handful of designers, but that has changed.
We believe that we are on the verge of making a name for ourselves on the world stage as some of the most unique and original designers out there. This show is all about providing designers with a platform and getting feedback on their designs, helping each one grow. Shopping local in the Victoria offers numerous benefits for both consumers and the community. Here are some reasons why you should consider supporting local businesses:
What a fantastic group of artists! This event will be taking place today and tomorrow. The admission fee is $5 at the door and all proceeds will go to the Victoria Coolaide Society. The Mariniers are organizing a food drive, and there will also be a coloring contest for kids, as well as door prizes.
Last weekend's Nomad's Mind Body Spirit Expo was an exceptional event that you missed if you weren't there. It's rare to find a gathering of like-minded individuals in one place, but this expo brought together a holistic community dedicated to promoting body awareness, mental alignment, and spiritual connection. Nomad regularly hosts a variety of events, but this one was particularly special. Attendees had the opportunity to interact with a diverse range of holistic practitioners, including teachers, massage therapists, herbalists, writers, artists, healers, psychics, aura readers, and vibrational sound and light workers. The focus of the event was on alternative forms of healing, and attendees were encouraged to ask questions and try out different approaches to promote good health. This was our first event of its kind, but it certainly won't be the last. Keep an eye out for future opportunities to connect with the holistic community at Nomad's events. |
