Up-and-coming designers show their stuff at BC Fashion Week’s Generation Next competition

On Wednesday September 30, Circa Restaurant on Granville Street (pictured below) played last-minute host to BC Fashion Week’s new-designer competition, Generation Next.

Out of six entries, three were chosen as finalists to exhibit their wares on the grand stage for final judging. Aside from construction of garments, other criteria the judging panel look out for include a solid business plan and brand vision.
