“Did it start?” asks my friend who is sitting next to me, waiting with me for the show to start. “I can’t tell…” I reply, equally confused by the screen. It is the second day of Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW) and the live stream on YouTube is a few minutes behind. Over the next two…

Hear stories from the BCIT Broadcast student about her amazing internship at a fashion channel in the Philippines.
With this crazy semester in full swing, I can’t wait to take a break from the madness and enjoy fab clothes, fab company, and an overall fab time at The Cypher.

If you’re like me, you’ve totally left your Halloween costume to the last minute because of your ridiculously busy BCIT schedule! Midterms are kinda done and you need to relax before hitting the books, but you are in need of a quick and cheap costume. That’s why I thought it would be a good…
Autumn: the season for eating pumpkin-flavoured-everything and cramming for midterms.
