Christiann Moore, a La Jolla designer, recently presented her collection at Vancouver British Columbia Fashion Week. They have a worldwide presence and are the second largest Fashion Week in North America runway shows. Since its inception 22 years ago, they have brought international award-winning designers from over 25 global fashion capitals. Moore is originally from the Washington State\Pacific Northwest, which made it even more inviting for her to present there.

The plan was to show in April 2020 but the carpet was pulled out from under her. The pandemic shut down everything and she was forced to postpone the trip until now. After waiting three years for this fashion week, she was able to present her collection with 10 styles. Moore used luxury silks, embossed tulle, and sustainable fibers to create this avant-garde look.

The message she presented was the beauty of the woman’s body and femininity through design. The theme of the Spring/Summer 2024 collection was ‘Summer Angels on the Isle of Mist.’ The Summer Angels represents femininity and the Isle of Mist symbolizes the Pacific Northwest.

After the runway show, she set up a booth and sold her designs. During her time there, she was contacted by the American Consulate. They were eager to take photos because she was one of the two American designers represented there. Moore’s press release was picked up and published in the New York Style Guide.

Moore is a women’s fashion designer who blends sophistication, simplicity, and comfort reflecting the lifestyle of La Jolla where she lives. In recent years, she has been in several exhibitions, which include the “Salk Women in Science Inaugural Gala” at the Salk Institute in La Jolla and the “Kimono Reimagined Exhibition” at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park.

Moore said her experience in Vancouver was impactful. The journey was exploratory for her and she created a sampling of garments that were sporty, casual, formal, and sophisticated. Completing this collection left her with a better idea of where she is headed in the future and how to move on. She hopes to inspire women to love their bodies and self.

Moore said that since Vancouver, two runway producers have recently invited her to show in New York and Paris. Stay tuned for more Christiann Moore exciting designs to come down the runway. For additional information, visit https://christiannmoore.com/.
