I got the chance to attend this winter’s 2012 lifestyle show a couple weeks ago which hosted +100 different brands from across the globe! The day was filled with industry creatives, amazing designs and of course an inside look at upcoming lines for the year.

I was lucky enough to meet Joel Levy of Vancouver is Awesome at the beginning of my tour around the immense show. He kindly agreed to share his shots captured that day to give us all a closer look at some of the big ideas for 2012. Enjoy.

These are the few pictures I managed to capture through the day. Finally understand the “kid in a candy store” saying.

Quintin: my new favourite hat company, fit, colourways.

I got too excited and butchered the pic. Needless to say, Generic Surplus 2012. Watch Out.

 Always nice seeing local brands making it in such a large show. Duality Clothing for all your Custom Tall T needs.

I caught up with the Plenty crew. These French Canadians know their cut and sew.

Came home with enough reading material and lookbooks to keep me locked in the bathroom for a couple months.

Was really stoked to have caught the show this year and met all the great reps and people around. Big thanks again to Joel Levy from Vancouver is Awesome. Catch you next season Know Show!
