Leone’s Recommends: Cruise Elegance Fashions

Photo credit: Jessica Minh Ahn

Going on a cruise this year and not sure what to wear for dinner? Most of the time, the dress code is ‘cruise casual’, but there will be a couple of nights – like the Captain’s Welcome dinner and reception – where the dress code is ‘cruise elegance.’

For men, that would mean, dress shirts, slacks, sport coat, suit and tie or even a tuxedo.

For women, cruise elegance would include cocktail dresses, pantsuits, or even evening gowns.

What does cruise elegance look like? We asked our friends at Leone’s for some sartorial recommendations:

Lace mini dress by Alexander McQueen

Lace mini dress by Alexander McQueen

Clutch by Miu Miu

Embroidered dress by Ermanno Scervino

Flower thrift pleated mini dress by VERSACE

Applique cocktail dress by VERSACE

Leopard print lining shirt by Alexander McQueen

Painted Baroque tie by VERSACE

Embellished blazer by Dior Homme

You can find these fancy pieces and more at Leone’s.

A Visit with Vogue China

VFW PR + Media Coordinator Jalila Singerff and Laraine Yu

Is this your first time to Vancouver? What’s your favourite thing about Vancouver so far?

Yes – it’s my first time to Vancouver. I think the fresh air would be my favourite! Everything in Vancouver is fresh and natural.

What are your impressions of Vancouver – the city and its people?

The city is very beautiful. It’s easy to feel so relaxed. The people here are really kind! They are open to different cultures. This is what I feel with Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW) as well. Thank you for inviting me here!

We are thrilled to have you stay at the Pan Pacific Vancouver and be one of our very first guests in our newly renovated Pacific Club guest rooms. How are you enjoying your stay with us so far?

I love Vancouver! And the Pan Pacific Vancouver has a really great view of the city! I’m enjoying the soft bed, good service and brilliant view. I don’t even want to go back home.

As this is Vancouver Fashion Week and you’re a fashion editor for Vogue China, can you tell us of some of the upcoming trends? What are the must-have fashions, shoes or accessories?

I do spend a lot of time on fashion trends. I think kitten heels are getting popular now. And oversized clothing will still be trendy in 2017. However, having your own style would be the most fashionable thing all the time. It’s also my inspiration from VFW!

Nordstrom Opens Vancouver Store

On September 15, upscale fashion retailer Nordstrom invited concierges from Les Clefs d’Or Canada for a sneak peek of their Vancouver flagship store, located on the corner of Granville and Robson. Three years in the making, the 230,000 square feet store will officially open to the public at 9:30am on Friday, September 18.

Pan Pacific concierges Miriam Edwards and Shelley Hayashi attended the stylish and fun event.

“I am really excited about the opening of Nordstrom this Friday. It will certainly enhance the selection of shops in downtown Vancouver, as well as, elevate the level of retail experience for our guests. I love the vibe of the store and the attention to detail, from the stylish decor to the exceptional customer service which they are known for. Bistro Verde offers a vibrant meeting spot for pre or post shopping, or even a quick bite and drinks after work.” – Shelley Hayashi

“What an impression they’re making! Nordstrom is starting off right by holding a large fundraising gala (which is sold out), with all donations raised to go to BC Children’s Hospital and Vancouver Covenant House. And of course, the thing they’re most renowned for – service!” – Miriam Edwards

Nordstrom is sure to be an incredible shopping destination and we can hardly wait until Friday! Welcome to Vancouver, Nordstrom!
