Store, photography by 3Ten Photo. Necklace, Thomas Sabo, $198.

On our fashion radar: the opening of Western Canada’s first Thomas Sabo store (West Edmonton Mall, 8882 170th St., 780-487-7226, thomassabo.com), which is dedicated to all things bright and shiny. I’m eager to scoop up the Rebel at Heart line, which features Sabo’s rock ’n’ roll take on rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches.

I caught up with Fernandes to talk about her hopes for Edmonton’s growing fashion scene. Read more »

Edmonton: Southgate Centre ups their fashion ante

Comments

I am feeling a little faint, my heart is pounding inside my chest, my hands have started to tremble and I am using every ounce of will power I have to prevent myself from jumping up and down and screaming.  No, I have not just won the lottery, it’s something even better: I just finished a phone call with Claire Salaysay, Southgate Centre’s (780-435-3721, southgate.shopping.ca) marketing director, where she rhymed off the shops that will be part of Southgate’s 155,000-square foot expansion.  Read more »

Edmonton: A fashion empire in three parts

The Henry store in Edmonton

The Henry store in Edmonton

When it comes to fashion in the prairies, Henry Singer is king.  So, it should come as no surprise that Jordan Singer (president of the Henry Singer Fashion Group and the late Mr Singer’s grandson) is the indisputable crown prince of suits, denim and all things menswear.  As the legend goes, Henry Singer launched an eponymous clothing shop, specializing in contemporary men’s apparel, in 1938 with only $300 in his pocket.  Since then the Henry Singer retail empire has continued to flourish and now encompasses three distinct clothing stores.

Edmonton: Bag lady style

Like most fashion-obsessed women, I love mixing high and low fashion to create edgy and unique looks: A Preen dress with a Gap anorak; a Joe Fresh Style shirt with a Diane von Furstenberg skirt.  And if the look is willing, there is nothing I love more than adding accessories.  From vintage jewellery to designer shoes and locally handcrafted bags, I love them all.  A few weeks ago, I accompanied my husband and three young sons to the Old Strathcona Farmers’ Market (10310-83 Ave., 780-439-1844, Saturdays) in search of homemade jam and baby red potatoes, but instead discovered The Bag & Bath Ladies a.k.a. Diane Murphy and Helen Brassington and their gorgeous one-of-a-kind bags ($12 to $75).
