The Schick Fashion Exposed show Friday night had it all: hot models, hot brands, a few surpises and a lot of skin. Breakdancers and a one-man-band were the entertainment highlights of the show, but Westbeach definitely hit it home with their 30th Anniversary retro presentation, which included fireworks and cheerleaders. Yes, this is a REAL outfit from their vault. And yes, a lot of these styles seem to have come full circle – thankfully the snowboard technology has evolved!

Another fun design label was the Canadian trio of design mavens, We3. Airy and feminine, their clothes are comfortable and simple and also made from sustainable fabrics. We3 won the Designer Search and Expose contest to become part of Fashion Exposed.

Other presenters included Mavi, Bench, Burton, and Sorel. I just wanted to say that Sorels have come a long way from the utilitarian styles we all know and love. Patterns, colours and different styles are all part of the modern Sorel boot, which means you can still endure a Great Canadian winter in fashion. My dad has a pair of Sorels that are 40 years old so I’m pretty sure they could last a lifetime.

Finally, Aaron Chang stole the show with his sexy swimwear line. “Wow” is all I can say about this particular Aaron Chang swimsuit:

Ruffian Royale and the Zune Concert Series Contest winner The British Columbians hit the mainstage from 2:30-5:30. Today is party day with some seriously big name DJs blowing through town. DJ Z-Trip, Vinyl Richie and Mat the Alien are spinning for the Big Air, which runs 8pm-10pm. The end-of-festival party culminates tonight with “The End” a massive shaker at the Telus Conference Centre.
