Edmonton Fashion
Spending the rest of your life in a place as beautiful as the city of Edmonton is all worth it especially if you are fond of shopping and celebrations. Edmonton is a cultural, governmental, educational, and commercial center as it is home to the West Edmonton Mall, North America's largest. The city is a haven to several shopping malls that include Westmount Centre, Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre, Edmonton City Centre, Southgate Centre, Kingsway Mall, Northgate Centre, Abbotsfield Mall, Londonderry Mall, Capilano Mall, and Mill Woods Town Centre. Aside from the big box shopping centers, Edmonton has also many urban retail locations like the Old Strathcona, and small shopping districts.
With that said, the city of Edmonton highlights a shopping culture that is globalized and advanced. The fashion-consciousness of the people in Edmonton is evident by the wide array of establishments that cater the fashion industry, while the media is at large scale of promoting fashion in the city. Among the longest running and most established Fashion Week in Alberta is the Western Canada Fashion Week that generates more press and excitement than any other fashion events in Western Canada. The WCFW supports local and Canadian designers and artisans promoting their business and gain greater recognition.
Fashion in Edmonton has a very huge impact to the commercial sector since it creates high revenues. Fashionmagazine.com talks about the latest craze of the season, a trip to one of Alberta’s two new Victoria’s Secret locations that are fully stocked with all the fine lingerie and satiny goodness you’ve been fantasizing about since the brand’s Canadian launch nearly two years ago.
Most recently, the magazine highlights the aptly named So Pretty Jewelry, by Edmonton gem Cara Cotter that delivers precious stones in Caribbean hues - just in time for your mid-winter tropical getaway. Fashionmagazine.com also covers the biggest hair moment on the runways to provide its readers with the best tips in hair treats and style.
For Edmontonians, fashion is not only limited in clothing but is also includes the passion in art. Take a look at the latest highlight on Edmonton Journal that is all about Valentine’s card workshop…
[ Art won’t pack on the pounds. It won’t wilt and wither away on your kitchen table. And it most definitely won’t become another pink-and-red chew toy for the dog….. According to Anna Szul, executive director at SNAP Gallery, Valentine’s Day is about doing something different, something quirky, and something unexpected for a loved one. The usual gifts — chocolates, flowers and stuffed animals — are often here today and gone tomorrow — which is why the not-for-profit centre is offering Valentine printmaking workshops to encourage Edmontonians to leave a lasting impression on their sweethearts. ]
So no matter what the fashion is, in Edmonton everything is cloud nine!
