Chill at the Leos

This is the 9th year of the Leo Awards, but the first year for Chill at the Leos, a celebrity fashion show hosted by Michele Thistle of Launch Rx. Partial proceeds from the event go to Women in Film & Video, a very worthy cause that supports female filmmakers right here in Vancouver.

Chill at the Leos allows new and emerging designers to showcase their collections to an audience of stylists, film and TV wardrobe personnel, fashion designers, and celebrities in town for the Leo Awards that weekend. You too can attend, and it'll only cost you $25 (available at the door or through Launch Rx website).

This debut year will provide a forum for the following designers to dress celebrity models: Shelley Klassen of Blushing Designs, RIMA AMERICA with Tonino Lamborghini and Janise O'Leandros, ARTIKOL, selections from Harry Rosen and Eden Fashion Boutique, Parasuco Jeans, Vivah Jewelery with Jason Matlo, and Jolie Couture.

The Leo Award ceremonies take place on June 1st and 2nd.
