Twice a year, Canada's most stylish and trend-setting people converge on Vancouver to share ideas, show off what's new and set the pace for the upcoming season in the lifestyle and action sports marketplace. This event is called Know?Show and it brings together some of the largest brands in the industry including the likes of Vans, Toms, G-Shock and LRG just to name a select few.

This time around vendors are showing and retailers are buying for the Spring/Summer 2013 and literally everyone at the show has brought their A-Game. Not just on the racks, but on themselves as this is not only a trade show, but also a chance to market your entire brand and showcase all the details of your operation and what makes it great, starting of course with the people behind it.

Unlike many other industries the lifestyle fashion world is made up of people who not only design and develop the products they sell but they wear it on a daily basis. So what tends to happen is we see a much more real end result, because you have to not only stand behind the product you are sell but also you have to stand IN the product, leaving no room for error on the side of function, comfort or fashion.

Each time the show goes on, the Know?Show crew takes to the streets and areas surround the event and takes snapshots of some of the most well put together people at the show. It's not an easy feat selecting just a few as the place is littered with the coolest kids in the scene, but the ones who are featured are the creme de la creme of this seasons crop.

So have a look at the photos here, courtesy of Know?Show and catch a glimpse of what's coming down the pipe for Spring/Summer 2013.
