The shows at the Transalta Arts Barns (10330-84 Ave.) will feature new talent from the University of Alberta’s Textiles and Clothing program, along with EFW regulars like Stanley Carroll, Nokomis and C’est Sera. In addition to the runway, there will be live performances by Dance Unlimited, Kimberley Spears and Quanteisha, as well as hair and makeup showcases to keep things entertaining.
Once the shows have wrapped up, there’s a designer sample sale on at Planet Ze Design Centre (April 11 and 12, 10055-80 Ave., 780-428-3499) The list of names includes Betsey Johnson and Kenneth Cole, as well as local talents Carroll, Kelsey McIntyre and Karen Vaquilar.
