Along with these designers, VFW brings together important partnerships from around the world and its own influential local community including Metro Show Vancouver who along with VFW are committed to fostering the growth of the fashion industry and celebrating the arts. Together, Metro Show Vancouver and VFW create a platform offering designers business, financial and mentoring tools they need to get their collections to the runway and onto the global stage. The partnerships VFW builds help bridge the gap and build relationships between the designers and agencies to create an opportunity to engage the public and buyers.
Another VFW partnership is with the fashion school, LaSalle College of Vancouver. Each season VFW supports the college by showcasing the student's designs. It's become a crowd favourite, and puts a spotlight on emerging local artists.
Gearing up for their dynamic 26th season, VFW is supported by West 4th Business Association, LOCO BC, The Waves Coffee House, Westkey Graphics, Vancouver Biennale, and Home Reworks all aiming to enhance the VFW experience.
