This diverse and multi-cultural experience brings the nation’s best bridal designers, jewellers and wedding vendors together under one umbrella.
Parvesh and Jai will present three shows at the Bridal Fashion Week. “Last year we showcased bridal womenswear, this year our target is to showcase fusion bridals for women, and formal, western and Indian looks for males. We are focusing more on highlighting menswear this year,” says Jai.
Talking about the collection, their womenswear will have a colour palette comprising of “nude shades with tonal work and dark colours with gold and silver highlights on it.” As for the menswear, the collection will include cleaner and neat cuts with fabric treatments in different types of fabric texture creations, like laser cut and embossing.
Their third show will be for special kids from BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. Parvesh and Jai have partnered with BC Children’s Hospital to create outfits for a few of these children. “We always had a soft corner for those special kids. This will definitely increase their confidence and boost their energy level,” say the designers, adding that a partial raise of the event will go to the hospital.
