AI Fashion Design Students Present Global Gallery

Words by Scott McKeown.

Global Gallery, Art Institute of Vancouver’s most recent fashion show, spotlighted the work of their newest fashion design program graduates. The night was a fine fusion of great production, theatrics, music, and of course emerging talent’s designs. Design students presented three looks from their portfolio that reflected their work over a two year time period. The direction in design each student took were all uniquely individual and catered towards varying markets. Notable budding design students included Krista Brown and Jana Sophia whose garments were true show stoppers.

Krista Brown (top, left piece) designed a collection that was original, directional, and avant-garde. Her use of non traditional materials like a wig for one of her pieces showed her creative thought and ingenuity. She was able to construct her garments in not only unique ways but also keep them flattering with a modern approach. Slanted towards more classic cuts and old Hollywood glamour were the pieces presented by Jana Sophia (top, right piece). The standout piece from her looks was a dress with soft ruffles that built on one another to create large volume and drama. Her colour palette was muted creating a sense of tranquility and peace.

Under the direction of industry veteran Vladimir Markovich, Global Gallery was the perfect format to help students continue to learn about the fashion industry and commence their career path into it. With a grad glass that not only seemed to have creative flair but also technical skill it is likely it will not be long before they begin their dream jobs in Vancouver’s fashion industry.
