EFW07 Nicole Bridger You’re Not Alone
Nicole Bridger is a Vancouver based eco-fashion designer focused on women’s clothing. Every season, her creative fashion show kicks off Eco Fashion Week, her creative vision creating the perfect back drop to showcase her collection. This season the theme was “You’re Not Alone” and it opened EFW07 with quite a bang. There was a special model casting call for androgynous models prior to her show. Since her line aims to celebrate the female figure by offering chic silhouettes, seeing men walk down the runway with her dresses made a bold and powerful impact.
After the show, we had a word with the talented designer and uncovered her inspiration and the message behind this show. You’re Not Alone aims to celebrate humanity. Deep down, we are all the same, and we don’t have to be treading through life feeling lonely. We can do what we want and be who we want to be while transcending the boundaries of gender. The models also doubled up at the beginning of the runway, faced each other and took a moment to connect with each other. The act further solidified the message of you’re not alone. We are all just people. We should support each other, judge less, love more and help each other become who we are meant to be.
Stay tuned for more Eco Fashion Week coverage.

About the author
I love fashion and style. What I choose to wear has become my creative outlet. The power of fashion has always fascinated me. It’s amazing how an article of clothing can elicit a full range of emotional responses from both the wearer and wearee. Not too long ago, I was introduced the wonderful world of thrift shopping. Not only do I get to satisfy my inner hunter, I also save massive coin while doing it. There is also such a charm to working with ill-fitted pieced of vintage item. Needless to say, I was soon addicted. The best part, the proceeds from thrift stores all benefit charitable causes; virtually eliminating any feeling of guilt, or buyer's remorse. I am my canvas, and style is my paint brush.
