Vancouver Unfiltered: We Crashed Vancouver Fashion Week

We went behind the scenes at Vancouver Fashion Week — models, designers, and an exclusive chat with VFW CEO Jamal Abdourahman.

Vancouver Fashion Week 2026

We went behind the scenes at Vancouver Fashion Week — and we didn’t hold back. From candid conversations with models on and off the runway, to sitting down with the designers pushing boundaries, this episode of Vancouver Unfiltered gets as close to the real thing as you can get without a backstage pass of your own.

The highlight is an exclusive interview with Jamal Abdourahman, CEO of Vancouver Fashion Week, talking about what actually goes into building the city’s fashion scene beyond the runway lights. It’s a rare look at the business and the people behind an event most of us only ever see the finished, polished version of.

Full episode is above — Vancouver’s fashion scene, unfiltered, exactly as advertised.
