Day five of Vancouver Fashion Week F/W W17 drew in collections from the luxurious streets of England, Denmark, Japan, Luxembourg and Spain. All collections showcased stunning materials leaving the mind to explosive interpretations.
TENGRI – ENGLAND
Fabric heavy head pieces and textured jackets demand the audience's attention as the Tengri models open Friday night’s show. Drawing inspiration from the first-hand experience of living in Khangai region of Mongolia, the brand brings a ready-to-wear and bespoke collection. Tengri instills elements of eastern and western influences, made from Tengri’s Khangai Noblem Yarns®
Pieces which celebrate the vanguard of British textile innovation and London creativity. Nancy Johnson, the creator behind Tengri, centers her creations through sustainable and circular design philosophy, with soft, breathable and hypoallergenic Mongolian yak fibers. The universal use of patterns and knits allow this woodland forestry feel to appear in the clothes. The hues
resemble that of the forest, and the clothes embark the appearance of nature. The path to her designer career is remarkable.
CAMILLA ASKHOLM – DENMARK
Camilla Askholm’s women’s wear collection channels a minimalistic, timeless sense of feminine elegance. The Danish designer aims for structure and tailors her pieces appropriately for a unique ensemble. With a vision for a more sustainable approach to fashion, the collection’s focal point is on lines, composition, fine materials, and crafted detailing. Basic pastel colouring is long
gone and replaced with bold patterned pieces pared with velvet in-hues of green and blue.
WILDFR Ä ULEIN 71 – JAPAN
Trendy pieces paired with neutral toned fabrics grace the runway as the organic influenced collection allows the designers creativity to shine. WILDFRÄULEIN 71 F/W17 collection brings ,,Nouvelle Art Nouveau” to the runway. The Japanese designer showcases the strong yet transient beauty of women with a courageous man by her side.

boundaries of experimentation, craftsmanship and individuality are reflected in the designs, captivating the attention of the modern woman.
