Each time Jacqueline Conoir launches a new collection, it is more than a fashion’s nights out. This was certainly true on Oct 25, 2011 when the Vancouver-based design powerhouse presented its Spring/Summer 2012 (S/S 2012) collection of Jacqueline Conoir and Jac clothing lines. For the invited guests, the new JC Studio located on 164 West 5th Ave. with its wild graffiti façade became a place for fashionistas to meet with longtime friends and make new acquaintances. And on this occasion, a brand new Jacqueline Conoir publication in a newspaper format also debuted which quickly became a collector’s item for those who treasured designer Rozemerie Cuevas’ fabric creation.
