#VALT2012 Reviews:

“In the age of smartphones, reality TV and productivity killer extraordinaire, Facebook, we live in a moment where even these things can barely keep our attention. VALT, though in its inaugural year, has done well to blend together various arts to draw in even the most inattentive viewer.  Giving us a little taste of everything and in the most unconventional way, makes us want to see more and be entertained. And who doesn’t want that?”

“The first ever Vancouver Alternative Fashion Weekend played with the word fashion, with its edgy, not-your-average tattooed models and barefoot performances. There were fancy face veils, antler head wear, flowery hats and long ruffled chiffon gowns, feathers and leather. How fitting for this exuberantly avant-garde fashion weekend.”

“Ever wanted to watch a Charlie Chaplin-esque mime Flashdance her way up and down a runway inside a renovated warehouse accompanied by live theatrical synthpop pouring out of a Voodoo-attired vocalist? Then you really should’ve been in downtown Vancouver a couple weeks ago.”

“We are so honoured to have been in the company of such talented and creative designers, performers, and artists, both in front of the crowd and behind the scenes. We experienced excitement and nervousness but knew we were in capable hands.”

“My daydreams still burst with flashes of elaborately black feathered Elizabethan neck pieces, Steampunk top hats and leather goggles bathed in gold studs, gorgeous boys and girls of all shapes and sizes, long, green, pointy elf shoes and wings and baby dragons, oversized oval hoop skirts, crinolines and bonnets, richly textured overcoats, sexy tattooed girls in black fishnets and chains, leather, corsets, and all things fashionably eclectic and surreal... It’s the kind of dream you wish you could stay in forever.”
