THOSE who dream of being “best-
dressed” were ovt in force at the Hotel
Vancouver last Monday evening.

The event was Fantily Services of the North

's fifth annual fall fashion show, “Haute
Stuff,” held to raise money for the organisation's
sexual abuse program.

Gala-goe7y were treated to collections by some
of B.C.’s top designers.

Nancy Lord's fall solleection opened the show,
featuring long, silky jackets and coars, lots of shim-
mering iridescent fabric and one especialiy show:
stopping Jong, collared stirt with wide stripes of
sheer and solid fabric.

Neat, tailored suits were shown dy
RozeMerie Cuevas for jacqueline Conoir,
each with standour details: double
the short skirts; iong, fitted jack
flared pants; and ankle-length
extra-long slits

Lingerie from Patricia Ficldwalker
ranged trem delicious pastel and face
confections, to a cozy quilted robe and
draniatic jewel-toned gowns.

Particularly cyecatching were gowns,
pale pink at the shoulders which deep-
enced like a sunset ta dark burgsndy at
the ankle-length hem.

Animal prints, sheers, velvets and
basic biack were all inc in the
cvening wear shown by Feizal
Virani while Catherine
Regehr’s cuilection was awash
in glitter: long shifts in
shades of iced coffee and
marine, and full, shoul-
der-baring taffeta gowns.

Men’s wear, from
The Mensroom in West
Vancouver, ranged
from casual = wear
(cuffed corduroy pants
and close-fitting knit
shirts) to knit vests
under relaxed jackets,
and to business wear
and evening wes

Each of the design-
ers also donated ther
time to dress a hand-
made teddy bear for the
five auction after the fash-
ion show.

The designer bears were in
keeping with the theme for the
evening — other bears came with
trips, jewelry and art.

Even the teddy bears which served as
centrepieces on the tables were sold by
silent auction.

In coral, the event raised more than
$80,000 for programs at Family Services
of the North Shore.
