When I mention the upcoming Ottawa Fashion Week event, I get one of two polarized answers:
1 - Ottawa Fashion Week? I didn't even know we had one! or
2 - I know! So exciting! (Undoubtedly the one I prefer)
Ottawa, although the nation's capital, it is by no means famous for being a fashion capital. When we think fashion we think Paris, Rome, London and New York. Well, slowly but surely Ottawa is making its way on to the map.
In the past few years it seems that 'fashion' has become very de rigeur and many variations of 'fashion week' have come and gone. Ottawa Fashion Week (OFW) has endured however, and this upcoming fall showing promises a good one!
The new venue - the National Art Gallery steps things up a level. With such a magnificent back drop of glass, all of the models and the clothing are guaranteed to shine brighter than years past. The reformatted schedule (3 nights vs 4 October 29, 20 and 31) means a tougher qualification process and more competition to get a spot in the line up. Not to despair, the schedule is a great mix of local and national talent. Many new designers have signed on including Label, Elroy Designs, and Moda Suite. Better yet, some of our favourites are back to wow us again. I am seriously looking forward to Kania, Rachel Sin and Jessica Biffffffyyyyyyyyyyy!
