This season we had Danny Nguyen capture moments before, during and after our presentation of VAWK and VAWKKIN at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto this past March. Take a look at some of Danny’s behind the scenes shots below.
Music is always inspire the collections and it’ is also a vital component to how our collections are presented. Every season we have a live DJ onsite, mixing the latest tracks for our shows. We were like to have Kevin Bailey on board this season for our Autumn/Winter 2012 show at MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto.
Kevin Bailey | DJ
Originally from Kingsville ON, Kevin made the move to Toronto in early 2007. Toronto’s nightlife scene provided a diverse selection of clubs featuring a plethora international DJ’s which allowed Kevin to affirm his love for dancing and house music. With the generous help of a few local DJ’s and club promoters, Kevin quickly learned the ropes and began DJ-ing small events around Toronto’s Church/Wellesley village in July 2009. Since then, he’s had the pleasure to spin at some of Canada’s largest and most acclaimed venues.
Kevin’s sound is crisp and clean, with uplifting vocals and energetic beats. He uses his ability to read and connect with crowds to deliver fun and memorable sets. In the future Kevin hopes to begin producing his own tracks and aspires to DJ at events all over the world.

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.
