SCI-FI SAMURAI Autumn/Winter 2012

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

Presenting his Autumn/Winter 2012 collection inspired by Samurais and Science Fiction, Sunny Fong sent VAWK women down the runway in leather space-caps with Samurai-style hair and 1960’s mod-inspired eyes on contoured faces.

The collection featured ready-to-wear pieces including coats adorned with leather and fox detailing, Samurai inspired jackets in black silk as well as cocktail and floor length dresses in plum silk and copper sequins fusing both Samurai and Science Fiction influences to create a powerful yet elegant collection.

This season marked the debut of our sister collection VAWKKIN where we held a casting call to have everyday women be the first to wear the collection on the runway. Our special thanks to the over 100 women who applied and an even bigger thank you to the 16 women selected.

CASTING CALL!

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

With the launch of our sister label VAWKKIN rapidly approaching, the VAWK team wanted to rollout our new project in an exciting way. VAWKKIN transitions seamlessly from work to the weekend. Since this line was designed with you in mind, we thought: Why not let you be the VAWKKIN woman and the first to wear it on the runway?

VAWKKIN is looking for women who would be thrilled to be a part of World MasterCard Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012 in Toronto.

Requirements

Are you available on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 from 1:00pm and two additional days (prior to the show) for fittings and rehearsals?
Are you 18 years of age or older?
Are high heels your favorite accessory?
Are you taller than 5 ft 6? (Without heels)
As always, VAWK celebrates diversity on the runway, do you range from size 2 to size 8, preferably? Curvy girls welcome! (Size 10 to 12)
Are you the most confident and outgoing in your group of girlfriends? (Keep in mind you will be strutting your stuff in front of hundreds of people including national media outlets)
Are you constantly being told you are photogenic?
Do you believe in benevolence? (This is strictly a volunteer opportunity, but who knows it could get you discovered!)

NOTE: Any contestants currently represented by an agency will not be paid according to any rate card or receive any fees.

If you answered yes to all of the above VAWKKIN wants to hear from you!

Please email media@vawk.ca including your measurements (height, waist, bust, hips, dress size, shoe size) and two recent snapshots of yourself- one full length and one head shot and why you think you are a VAWKKIN woman.
