FASHION LANDSCAPE
A BLEND OF INNOVATION, SUSTAINABILITY AND CREATIVITY IS WHAT WILL DISTINGUISH THE ERA.
We are on the cusp of a revolutionary transformation, a cultural shift towards individualism and diversity
that will redefine our relationship with fashion, art and design. Sustainable and smart fabrics are becoming
more mainstream, and offer greener alternative to traditional fabrics. Cultural and artistic expression will
be amplified and we at WCFW are so excited to see more collections by artists and collaborations between designers.
We provide a stage for creatives to tell their unique stories and we are always looking for new ways to collaborate
and support their efforts. WCFW staff and volunteers are artists from a variety of cultures and disciplines that celebrate
life and individuality. We all grow and share knowledge from this collaborative event.
2026 will bring more shifts towards environmental friendly and ethical practices as core principles .
Bespoke design empowers consumers to express their individuality. Fashion has always been a
canvas for artistic and cultural expression of time and history however now this is amplified globally.
WCFW our mission has always been to provide a stage to reach new cliental and help creators flourish.
Our next week of shows ART IN MOTION will take place in Churchill Square in the city of Edmonton on a very unique
stage in the city centre during the International Beer Festival. We believe this will bring the designers to
several communities that may not know how or where to find local or unique designer.
Our on site vendor and information tent will be open from 11am to 11pm daily June 4-9 2026. Our show are nightly 8pm June 4-9 2026 with two afternoon events at 3pm Sat. June 6 and Sunday June 7th.
ART IN MOTION
We believe Fashion, Art and Design have the power to spark change. We come together to support our community,
champion sustainability, and nurture creativity. In challenging times, we chose to move forward with intention,
redirecting our time, money and energy towards a more compassionate future. Join us in opening hearts and minds,
one thread, one brushstroke, one design at a time.
