THE REWIND | DAY 1 VANCOUVER FASHION WEEK FW19

Fashion Week takes place throughout the world, throughout the year. Designers are showcasing their creativity for the upcoming season. The lights on the runway of Vancouver Fashion Week FW19 took place and as this season’s (as well as the SS20’s season) media sponsors, we’ll be sharing our favorite looks by designers that walked the shows each day.

Last night, we truly enjoyed YONFA which was filled with minimalist lines, playing with proportion, fluid movement and a neutral palette. Our favorite look from this show, was the oversized hoodie which is perfect to pair with leggings and your favorite trainers. This collection was created by Japanese designer Kim Yonghwa who is known for using key materials that include wool and cotton that work in harmony with her need to have an easy and elegant style.

We’ll be sharing our favorite designers and 3 key looks from the show each day in what we call THE REWIND which is essentially a recap to give you the essentials on what took place.

THE REWIND | #THERETREATAUSTIN

Our friends over at FUNKSHION headed to Austin, TX during SXSW with their Health and Wellness Platform, The RETREAT by FUNKSHION on March 10th at the South Congress Hotel. This event included prominent fitness experts, wellness leaders, and industry shifters that hosted classes and were on panels as well as leading studio classes. This event was focused to create awareness about relevant topics related to the world of wellness.

With a day filled with an array of sessions, guests also had access to a mini-pop up shop with Essie Nail Station, Hair Braid Bar and they were able to shop Blank Label, Milk + Honey and Surterra Wellness.

“We wanted to create an inspiring and interactive event that will cover every angle of this widely-grown lifestyle, and connect the industry on both a national and regional level,” commented FUNKSHION’s Creative Director, Natalija Dedic Stojanovic. “It was a logical move to take The RETREAT to SXSW in our third year of the event. Austin’s market truly celebrates the health and wellness lifestyle like a religion. We match-made Austin founded companies like Outdoor Voices, Milk + Honey and C4 with industry tastemakers like Ron Boss, Bethany C. Meyers and Lo Bosworth (founder of Love Wellness). The result was an extraordinary success. All the panel discussions offered riveting commentary and advice on battling everything from common stigmas to eating disorders; and discovering ways to stay fit and mindful in the most difficult moments” mentioned Stojanovic.

The Retreat will continue to host its annual May event in the Miami Design District and is planning to host its first ever New York edition in mid-September.
