Now that the dust has settled, we wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped make our
Fall/Winter 2010 collection happen. Thank you to WINNERS, for your continued support and
belief in our label; without you, dreams would never come true. Thank you to the Art Gallery of Ontario
for allowing us to bring our creations to life in Walker Court for the past two seasons, and, in particular to
Elizabeth McMenemy and Michelle D’Angelo, for your unparalleled organization and passion for VAWK.
Thank you to 9th Sphere, for providing us with web solutions to making VAWK visible online. We are grateful
to the Fur council of Canada and NAFA for helping us add the ‘lux’ to luxury; Marta LeClair and
Monika Sammut of MARLU for adding the chrome to the collection; Tricia Campbell-Hall for cutting the edge
into the show and always going above and beyond with calmness and creativity; Salon Daniel for dreaming of
great hair; CARGO for making great face; and smartwater for quenching fashion thirst. Thank you to our
dedicated interns Devlyn Van Loon, Hayley Stolee-smith, Tammy Chan for stitching and suffering for fashion;
Vida Culig, Marta LeClair, Martyn Lee and Aneta Skoczylas, for sweating unconditionally in our shop;
DJ Jeremy Khamkeo for remixing the beat; Visualfx for releasing the sound;
Spence Xiong for documenting the moment; the PR Queen Christine Faulhaber, and the
powerhouses at Faulhaber PR – Shannon de Laat, Eden Rothwell & Natalie Ouellette – for spreading
the word, always thinking outside the box, and making the impossible possible; David Palumbo for enforcing
the law; Liis Windischmann for adding the confidence to the strut; Larry LeClair for camera action;
Candice Campbell, Irene Lee, Ezra Silverton, Jon So, Kalam Sutandar, Julianna Tso,
Sharon Wong for getting our backs. Thank you to all of those in the Canadian fashion industry and
media who put us on their fashion week calendar because they believe in building and promoting a
national fashion economy that is not constrained by limits on creativity.
Your attendance and coverage is sincerely appreciated.
