Vancouver Fashion Week Spotlight: Canella Hostal

One extremely talented designer especially stood out to us: Canella Hostal, a French designer based in Dubai.

We loved the vibrancy, texture, bold optimism, and delightful sense of fun inherent Canella's designs. We met up with her in the media room after her show.

Canella Hostal of "Canella Hostal Couture" was born in France to a family with an art and design heritage. 

Having lived in Dubai for the past X years, she draws her design inspiration from the warmth, vibrancy, and energy of the Middle East. 

Her Spring/Summer 2016 collection contains versatile, whimsical separates composed of sophisticated Jacquard fabrics with neon and metallic threads woven throughout. 

Mine & Yours Photoshoot with Canella Hostal Couture

We fell so deeply in love with Canella's designs, that decided to do an impromptu, playful photo shoot in her clothing!

Thank you Canella for sharing your designs with us and Vancouver at-large. We hope to see much more of your gorgeous clothing on this side of the world. 

And thank you to all the designers, organizers and supporters behind Vancouver Fashion Week! See you next season!
