EdmontonFashion Week-April 2 to 9

Edmonton Fashion Week has returned to Alberta with bright colours, light fabrics, and talented designers.

On April 2, Jason Matlo displayed a stunning gothic collection, which included sky-scraper, over-the-knee patent boots, and was followed by flowing, white wedding gowns. The mix between hard and soft was a crowd pleaser.
Matlo is a Vancouver Fashion Designer and has set the bar high with his ready-to-wear spring line with his meticulous attention to detail and lovely fabrics.

April 3 showcased local designer Kathryn Neuman. Her funky style was strutted down the runway in a variety of fabrics and textures. Neuman is known for gathering fabric from thrift stores, and peiceing together outfits that are one-of-a-kind.

We also saw Nazila Couture on the fashion runway on April 3. Smiling with her two beautiful girls, Nazila Sawhney created a sexy line, complete with feminine silhouette, glistening beadwork, sex-appeal and crafty Indian work. The line was created to turn heads. Nazila's belief is simple "only create looks that she would love to see herself in"

This was a first for Edmonton Fashion Week to showcase the local makeup talent in the city, and a great turn-out it was! The over-the-top colours and artistry was beautiful. Three judges sat on stage and observed each decorated model that strutted her, and his, stuff down the catwalk.
