Vancouver Fashion Week came to a close with four very different designers from around the globe, including two Peruvian designers whose lines embodied their love of Paris and the female form.

The other two are a Canadian whose menswear line was inspired by the topography of her country and a designer from Korea whose line showcased her love of glam rock and nordic fashion.

According to Fibre2fashion.com, the two designers from Peru brought Vancouver Fashion Week to a close with two collections made to honor the female form and female fashion throughout history.

Noe Bernacelli took upon his training in nude art to create embellished shimmering gowns that hugged the models at every curve. 

Some dresses had sheer backs, some were mini, and some even had simple lace embellishments layered over a romantic color palette.

Evolèt, by Jercy Gutierrez, presented dresses with gorgeous drapery with a defined waist, victorian-style blouses and haram pants, as well as knit sweaters and leggings.

All in all, his collection embodied the idea that women should be adorned in fabric but also tailored in the right spots so her figure is never enveloped by the clothes.

“It’s been a vibrant and inspiring week, which ended on an appropriately high note. We saw a relax menswear collection from an up-and-coming Canadian label, trendsetting cool from a Korean in London, and then ended the day with two Peruvian designers who each expressed their own aesthetic and love for the female form,” the website said.
