What an opening gala it was! I arrived early with my assistant since we had to get our press badges. Leone started filling up with people all glamourous and dressed up. I believe my assistant and I were the only dressed up photographers, haha. My friend Kaila of Ann.i.e. Group got in but she didn't get her press badge since it got "taken" by someone. It was a great night of complimentary wine and chocolates as well as an awesome chance to meet and greet with all the designers as well as other industry individuals. It was a little taste of what we will see on the runway.
Tonight was the very first runway show. After a long delay, the beats started pumping, spotlights came on, the crowd started cheering and the very first model came strutting down the runway. Tonight's show featured Papillon Eastern(Vancouver), Gianni Al Maanaki(Lebanon), Porscia(Vancouver), and Frost Sportiva(Calgary). There was also a hair and makeup competition that was to be featured later at the Centre for Performing Arts. The models were getting ready at Storyeum so we got to see the crazy crazy hair and high fashion makeup. Below is the show schedule for the rest of the week:
