KNOW?SHOW, Canada’s premiere lifestyle tradeshow, has returned to Vancouver, B.C. this week for an early preview of the top trends in fashion, lifestyle and action sports for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 season.

Over 300 brands could be found under the roof of the Vancouver Convention Centre all ready to show-off to distributors, retailers, and media (few), the newest fashions; There was no shortage of American and international brands, but great emphasis was put on brands such as Native Shoes, Lifetime Collective, Sitka, Herchel Supply and Gentle Fawn, whom have been making an impression on the Canadian lifestyle industry for a few years now.

Those in attendance were greeted with a great time “poolside” and in the media gifting lounge and bar, where one had the choice to get groomed at the Barber Shop (Franks’s Chop Shop, NYC) or pampered with a free manicure at the Seychelles & BC Footwear booth.

Here are a few peeps at the Know?Show this past week in Vancouver.
