Holt Renfrew Fashion Show

HOLT Renfrew's 12th Annual Fashion Gala was a veritable who's who and gala do, as they say, featuring some very familiar names. Gucci, Armani, Prada and Burberry were all part of "Best of the Spring - 2002 Designer Collection" on April 9 as the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver's hosted a packed house full of local stars and celebs. The catwalk action started after guests finished a designer meal consisting of ahi tuna, veal, lobster and creme brule. A live auction and luxurious raffle prizes added even more glam to an evening hosted by BC-CTV's Pamela Martin and Holt Renfrew's Gary Balaski. All proceeds to support Arts Umbrella.
