About La Movida
Occupying a bright and sunny studio on West Broadway in Vancouver, La Movida Fashion Design Academy is owned and operated by Laurie Allan-Franks.
Since it first opened its doors in 2013, Laurie has guided La Movida by the principle that fashion design and sewing should be fun.
Our classes are energized, informative, and supportive, led by an inspiring team of instructors, allowing students to create beautiful fashion-forward projects.
You Say Tea I Say Party
It’s no secret La Movida sewing camps are all about having fun while learning new skills and making amazing fashion projects! But one of our best kept secrets is our tea party tradition at the end of each week.
La Movida on The Big Screen
Next time you’re taking in a movie at our own neighbourhood cinema, the legendary single-screen Dunbar Theatre, watch for La Movida’s big screen debut! The newly-produced La Movida video will be playing prior to every screening.
