This will be the
sixth season for Myriam Laroche and her team to be launching another great eco-
fashion week. The team is excited and preparing its final touches before they launch the show. This event has become an important one because it helps encourage a better green lifestyle for the city of Vancouver and internationally.
EFW's mission is to present the industry with sustainable fashion concepts
and help ensure consumer values, intentions and actions. More than two thousand
global VIP guests, buyers, designers, stylists and others involved within the
fashion industry will be attending EFW. There will be speaker seminars,
industry panels, showrooms and the runway shows.
"We want to provoke and propel the desire for people to change and
become conscious of the environment through as simple as fashion. This will
help ensure solutions for a better ecology and society," said EFW's production
manager Carly Bradley. "Collaborating with designers and organizations
allow us to give people the chance to ask questions about how and where our
clothes and things get made."

The fabulous Carly Bradley is originally from Alberta and moved to Vancouver about five
years ago. She graduated from the Art Institute in fashion marketing and has
always had a passion for fashion. She said she loves fashion because clothing
is an art form.
"It's important for people to be aware of sustainable fashion because
it's the easiest way to help the environment. We want to help keep this
beautiful planet running for future generations," said Bradley.
Bradley helps with the production and booking for organizations and
companies, as well as assist with the showroom, she basically makes sure that
EFW will be running smoothly.
"Awareness for sustainable fashion is needed because this is an
environmentally damaging industry," said Bradley. She also said that all
of the EFW events that will be taking place are all worth to check out.
