Vancouver fashion week begun just a couple days ago and has already begun having problems. In the past VFW has not had great reviews and things don't seem to be turning around this year either. There have been many complaints about expensive ticket prices, untrained workers, and lack of well known industry professionals.
But the real story here is about complaints about the producer for "exploiting students and recent graduates for their well-meaning free labour, as well as exploiting emerging and established designers with sub par production". A blog was created by a group of interns working at VFW who talked about poor working conditions and hoping to help support their local designers. If we were rich would our fashion week display more class and integrity?
