The evening begins in the Bill Reid Rotunda with Croquis, a solo performance by award-winning queer Canadian-Filipinx artist Ralph Escamillan — a live, expressive sketch in motion that sets the tone for the night. Then the runway comes alive in MOA’s Great Hall with designs by professional fashion designers and students responding to the UBC Student Sustainable Fashion Challenge, showcasing bold experimentation and imaginative futures for fashion.
After the show, audiences are invited into MOA’s Multiversity Gallery to meet the designers and connect their work with MOA’s global textile collections — a space for conversation, reflection, and deeper connection.
Experience fashion as art, action, and possibility — with sustainability centre stage.
