Edmontonian Cherrie Cruz showed her stunning line of S/S 2010…followed by Vancouverite Jason Matlo who showcased two lines. Both Matlo and Cruz are no strangers to the fashion scene, and provided contrasting styles.
While Cruz used floaty, colorful fabric, Matlo’s collection was more about work to office and beyond.

Day three was an eclectic mix of street style to haute couture.
Kicking it out with a beautiful set by Manuela the show progressed to show off trendy street style, high-end beach wear and finished with Duanne Jauns, whose use of men dressed as women created a new take on evening wear.
For most collections that were seen over days two and three the norm was brights, pastels followed by black, for palates. Shapes went from loose and flowy to tight and tailored, for both men and women.
Stay tuned for more…fashion…
