DISGRUNTLED protest-
ers did nothing to diminish
the energy of last week's
Matinee Fashion in
Motion
Vancouver design.

A handful of protesters
carrying placards that read
“Cancer is cute’ and
“Smoking is sexy” stood at
the entrance to the Hyatt, the
location of the cigarette-
company sponsored event.
But the evening fashion show
and awards presentation went
off without a hitch.

The slick runway show
featured the designs of six

Vancouver
fashion at
forefront

top Vancouver designers, all
recipients of Matinee Fashion
Foundation grants.

The foundation was set up
in '92 to provide financial
support for Canadian design
talent. A total of $1.5 million
has been distributed since
that time. The amount each
designer reportedly receives
is between $10,000 and
$40,000.

This year's urant
recipients -—— Jacqueline
Conoir. Patricia Fieldwalker,
Nancy Lord Cinema and
Virani -- presented their
lines alongside previous

winners, Limbo, Poorboy and
Zonda Nellis.

Standouts were Virani’s
tailored wool pantsuits for
fall °96, — Ficldwalker’s
sensuous silk robes and slips
and Nellis’ exotic burnt-out
velvet evening looks.

Lord's leathers and city
separates drew loud applause
for their easy wearability.
Limbo's New  York-taxi-
yellow slicker and PVC
hipsters racked up points for
trendiness.

The evening also featured
the announcement of °96
grant recipients. Jacqueline
Conoir, Poorboy, Patricia
Fieldwalker and Nancy Lord
were again awarded grants.
They are joined this year by
first-time grant recipients
Ron Leal and Catherine
Regehr.
