Myrthe van der Leden will present her graduate collection at VFW Vancouver Fashion Week for the S/S 2020 Season. Myrthe is the only Dutch young fashion designer who has been offered a sponsorship to attend VFW. “The collection ‘Coup d’état’ is inspired by the North Korean Culture and visually represented trough a Western point of view”.

 

This runway event is one of the fastest growing fashion weeks in the world, and since 2001, Vancouver Fashion Week has acted as a stepping-stone for emerging designers to launch their creations into the fashion industry in hopes of one day appearing on the stages of London, Paris, Milan, and New York.

 

Just like it happened to renowned Dutch fashion designer Pauline van Dongen in 2011, VFW could represent an important stepping stone for Myrthe.

Tafari Lake, student of the Fashion Foundation programme, shared his experience with us: “It was a really nice experience for all of us and the first time for me in the backstage of a fashion show. We had the chance to help with managing the location and, above all, with dressing up the models. I started the Fashion Foundation programme two weeks ago and I really like the mix of fashion design and fashion business that it offers. What do I want to study after? Before the course, I would have said Fashion Design, but now I’m also very interested in the

business side of fashion. I will have a more clear idea in June!“.

 

Professional lectures:
Every week we bring professional guest lecturers at our boutique academy to give the students new learning opportunities and insights from the fashion industry.
