Priim stylist blog about Illusions Lab runway hair style in the Hair Trends at Vancouver fashion week FW17
March 29, 2017
“I picked my outfit today to match my hair,” I overhear someone says amidst the crowd at Vancouver Fashion Week’s Fall/Winter 2017 season (VFW). Last week, I had the pleasure of attending VFW. Made up of fashion enthusiasts and aspiring designers, the well-dressed crowd mingled as they took their seats on either side of the brightly lit runway. With a mix of local and international talent, the show was a spectacular sight to see.
Marilyn R. Wilson - writer, author of Life Outside the Box, about Vancouver Fashion Week F/W 17 - Tuesday Show Illusions Lab X Jennifer Reeves Designs

"This collaborative offerings was one of my favourite shows yesterday. The designer Jeanne Mesecha's garments were unique, one-of-a kind wearable art pieces created through a process of ecological felting. They were created without seams to smoothly contour the body. These were paired with beautiful jewellery, created by Salt Lake city designer Jennifer Reeves. It was a match made in heaven."
