Along with these designers, VFW brings together important partnerships from around the world and its own influential local community including Metro Show Vancouver who along with VFW are committed to fostering the growth of the fashion industry and celebrating the arts. Together, Metro Show Vancouver and VFW create a platform offering designers business, financial and mentoring tools they need to get their collections to the runway and onto the global stage.
