FMA fashion week - Kiss and Makeup - Day 3
October 22, 2010
Day 3 our attention was soon to be turned to make-up. Vancouver’s Kiss & Makeup boutique has been intimately involved during the FMA Fashion Week as a sponsor and one of the on-site pop-up shops. As well, Kiss & Makeup makeup artists, Sarah Noriss-Jones and Rachel Rossitter designed the make-up for all runway shows this week featuring Becca Cosmetics exclusively .
The boutique took centre stage on day three with their very own tribal chic inspired fashion show styled by Lisa Relling. The show featured fun and functional garments by Fluxus, Society for Rational Dress, Onward into the Future, Dace, Cynthia Vincent, Sienna Ray and more. It was fun, flirty and enjoyable to say the least and there were several pieces I’m sure flew out of the pop-up shop after the show. The scheduled part of the evening closed with a musical performance by Keylee Johnston, but attendees continued to party late into the night.

FMA fashion week - JC Studio - Day 2
October 22, 2010
Leather love seats, coloured flood lights and wall-to-wall glamour: Just your standard night of excellence for event producer Andy Chu at FMA Fashion Week .Club 560 was transformed as such for the evening’s showcase of JC Studios’ Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Earlier in the week, designer RozeMerie Cuevas had been presented with the FMA Fashion Award. Tonight, she was the star, posing for pictures and addressing the crowd of devout JC Studios fans.
This season’s collection featured a mix of sleek business wear, sultry evening attire and RozeMerie’s signature crowd-pleasing floor-sweeping gowns. Blending various textures and fabrics seemed to be the focal point this season, as sleek silhouettes were adorned with chunkier knits to signal the start of fall. Solid colours, such as charcoal, ivory and dove grey were given a little ‘oomph’ care of brightly coloured patterned blouses that peek-a-booed as the models walked. The gowns, an assortment of liquid black elegance and fluttering pale watercolours, concluded the show. As the models did their closing strut down the bending runway, the petite powerhouse designer made her final salute to the audience, flashing a peace sign as her parting gift. Overall verdict: another achievement for JC Studios and a highlight for FMA Fashion Week.
