Kelowna Made Fashion Show ❤ August 26

It brings me great sadness that due to our climate crisis and the Kelowna, British Columbia wild fires, the Kelowna Made Fashion Show has been canceled. My heart goes out to the fire fighters, wild life dislocated, evacuated families and homes lost. The scale of wild fires and lives affected by climate change is not normal. Hundreds of fires are burning across Canada. My view of lower mainland Coquitlam from my home is engulfed in a dark orange haze; the air hurts my lungs when I breathe. First Nations and other communities have recently been displaced from Yellowknife and the North West Territories. The time is now to take bold action to save Mother Earth.

Kelowna Made dedicated hundreds of hours towards this event. A huge thank you to my models and the Kelowna Made Fashion team and CEO Erikka Moojelsky with AesthetiKs LAB for her hard work putting this event together.

This blue bird dress I made will go down the runway another time. May we meet in a happier and safer space in the future.

❤ Love to Kelowna ❤
