Cardis Bows & Pearls: Fashion Week

I know it has been a while since we did a post, so here is an extra long one !

Last week Calgary hosted their own Fall 2010 fashion week featuring either local or Alberta designers. The fashion show took place at “The Bank” which is a beautiful old building. It was at one time, very long ago, a Bank. I absolutely love the huge chandelier, the perfect touch to bring the venue together.

For those lucky enough to sit in the first two rows, they received goodie bags.

Matilda and I attended the fashion shows from Thursday to Saturday. I took pictures at each show, and I have to say, my arms sure received a good workout!

While taking pictures at the fashion show, I ran into a few problems as follows:

1) I am terribly short at 5’2, thus all the heads in my photos.

2) It was my first experience taking photos of constant moving objects, it was not the easiest thing to do.

3) Each night the shows were packed and was difficult at times to find a good spot to take photos.

I apologize for the many heads that appear in the photos, there wasn't much I could do about it, even with wearing 5 inch heals, they only do so much.

A modern wedding dress ? What do you think of this outfit?

This collection was comprised mostly of colorful tulle, tutus and matching colored converse shoes (Chuck Taylor). Punkrock meets ballet dancers? What do you think?
