All Denim Ensemble

Last friday was the Recycle Denim Manics hosted by Leo Boutique and Nudie Jeans and what a great turnout! Artlife Gallery was packed from wall to wall with fashion designers and lovers and featured some of the very talented calgary designers like Kendall Yellowhorn, Paul Hardy, Taryn Mckay, Adejoke Taiwo, Haithem Elkadiki, and Diella Ocran.
The hair, make-up and clothes were amazing!

Last Friday Calgary Fashion attended and held a fashion exhibition at the 5Th Factory Party presented by THE MODERN LEISURE. The night was incredible! After a few stressful but fun weeks, every one's hard work paid off and we successfully produced an effective fashion show.
Thanks to Kim, who was my trusty side-kick through-out the entire process.
I'd like to thank all the designers, Cailtlin Power, Andrea Parton, Susan Clarahan, Hannah Grant, and Tiffany Wollman. Your creations deserve to be seen!
To all the models for taking time out of their days for fittings and the grueling 'waiting around' part. You are all beautiful!
Leandra and Olga, thank you for the fierce makeup and hair.
Garret, Jordan, Steph and Kara, you are lifesavers! What would happen without you??
Thank you to Noah York for his musical contribution, and the night could not have happened without Randy Gibson and the entire MODERN LEISURE team.
I love you guys.
Until next time.

Today!!

What's His Is Her's

These are the photo's from the Aritzia fashion show in Vancouver.
What will be making its way into fashion this season is "boyfriend" jeans, a lot of florals and the 80's surfer look. I am not always the biggest fan of what Aritzia carries but I do love the boyfriend jean concept. I prefer the more focused fashion aspect of the 80's like shoulder padded suit jackets and how everything was in excess.
