Sidewalk Runway: Best of 2015

I hope your 2016 is off to a good start.  Here’s a quick look back at 2015.
The HBIC TV reality series (previously known as Ultra Rich Asian Girls) shifted its focus towards business pursuits and charitable events for season 2. Versace Home, Nordstrom, Cicino and Wardrobe Apparel opened their doors to luxury shoppers. Dinner by Design (brought to you by the Deighton Cup organizers) was pleasant surprise and was packed with fashionistas. The Little Black Dress Gala and Brilliant used fashion shows to raise money for charities. Student groups hosted well run fashion shows like: BCITMA, JCI and Van Styles III. New Cover Modeling Competition selected three hopefuls to compete in China and conservative yet fashionable Middle Eastern outfits made their debut on a Hijabi runway.

01: Brilliant, Favorite Charity Fundraiser
When is a fashion show not a fashion show?  When it’s Brilliant!  Stylists, models, dancers and musicians volunteer their time to create a memorable event for the benefit of St. Paul’s Hospital each year. 2015’s theme was fairy tales.  Designers De Volk & Gosche provided a modern twist on Little Red Riding Hood (shown above).

02: Nordstrom, Favorite Grand Opening
Nordstrom spared no expense announcing their arrival. The evening started with a red carpet reception at the Art Gallery. Robson Square ice rink was transformed into a world class runway and VIP guests were granted access to the store a day before the public.  Appetizers and drinks flowed freely and Sean Jones’ band kept guests kicking up their heels in the shoe department.

03: Melissa, Favorite “Sidwalk” fashionista
Melissa isn’t a model.  We met randomly at the Luxury/Supercar Weekend. Her outfit has many thoughtful details: White fingernail polish to match her blazer. Tiny padlocks on her heels and purse.

04&05: Ashley & Asel , Favorite Model (tie)
A good model makes outfits look great. A great model has a wonderful personality.  Both ladies were kind-hearted, smart and provided me with stunning pose after pose.
