Vancouver Fashion ModelVancouver furniture designer Nathan Wiens lent out his woodworking studio and made way for the fashion masses, even throwing in a few of his own designs of the wooden variety. Wiens spliced an old tree in half and turned it into the main stage for VFW. Said tree once resided in the heart of the city but was uprooted to make way for urban development decades ago. It had been stored in his studio for a long time, so there were no fuel emissions to transport it to the venue—plus, there was no heating provided in the studio hence making this fashion week quite eco-friendly.
