Project Runway is great and all, but wouldn’t you like the chance to see a crazy fashion competition and subsequent fashion show live? Of course you would, you’re not a soulless robot! Costumes, cocktails and a merciless panel of judges are three of the finest pleasures in life, and you can have them all on March 9th at Walt Street Fashion Design Competition.

The Art Institute of Vancouver is hosting this no-sew design competition and fashion show. According to the press release, Walt Street is a “fusion of classic Disney characters with icons of popular culture,” including a tantalizing-sounding Lady Gaga/WALL-E combination.

Key words in the press release included: homemade glue paste; cat suits; polka dots; capes; and blue hair. Sounds like the most amazing fashion show ever to us.

Doors @ 8PM, Show @ 9PM
