Portobello West has been lucky to have the support of JC Institute over the past few years. The school has been supplying a board room for our monthly meetings. This simple generosity has made the running of the fashion and art market much easier.
JC Institute has been part of the Vancouver fashion scene since 1978. Offering a diploma in Fashion Business and Creative Arts, students learn everything from styling and blogging to buying and visual display. Their fashion grads have been employed by Portobello West as social media coordinators, bloggers, and volunteers. The school also offers courses in hair, makeup and body spa. Making it possible to be a quadruple threat at a photo shoot.
JC Institute is about to host Champagne, their annual awards gala and fashion show. The fashion students coordinate the whole event, coming up with a theme, staging and styling the models too. Once again the school shows its philanthropic side as net proceeds from Champagne will be donated to Covenant House. Get your tickets for the November 20 show at Villa Amato and support the school that supports Portobello West.
