I wholeheartedly believe that competition makes people better at what they do. It takes is them out of their safe zone and pushes them further than they would have alone. The results often take form in better quality and creativity. Competition is important.
Generation next is Western Canada’s most stylish new designer competition and fashion show. [...]
Find your style at Portobello West market, the last Sunday of the month. Meet over 110 local artists and designers and shop for one-of-a-kind fashion and art in one of Vancouver's most impressive indoor venues.
Created in 2006 and inspired by the famous artisan markets of Europe, Portobello West brings together Vancouver’s talented artists and designers in an eclectic and often surprising mix 10 months of the year. Come down and meet the designers, hear their stories and take home truly original garments, inventive and inspired accessories, unique and sublime jewelry or works of art that speak to you and who you are.
Outdoors for the Summer!
From June to August this year the Market will be outside the Station
in the wonderful sunshine (fingers crossed!). All the amazing designers and artists will be there
in the fresh air, as will our coffee, hot dogs and crepes! If the weather is good and the day is
dry, that'll also mean free admission!
We'll make an announcement on Friday 25th June both here and in a special newsletter to
confirm whether we're inside or out, so keep an eye on your inbox!
See you August 29th, 2010
