Mercedes-Benz Start-Up Semi Finals 2012

Yes, we went to the Mercedes-Benz Start-Up Semi-Final Runway Fashion show last night even though we're in the midst of the worst week ever. Yet we only have great things to say about the young Canadian fashion-designers who presented their beautiful work. Unfortunately, we got there a bit late (Alyssa drove, so naturally, we got lost), so we don't have any snazzy photos for y'all. Hopefully you can just trust us when we say that we were very very impressed and inspired by all the designs. Anyway, a bit about the program. Mercedes-Benz Start-Up is a "national initiative to discover and mentor up-and-coming Canadian fashion designers." Sounds neat, right? So if you are/know any fashion-designers interested in this program, make sure to check it out! And before we forget, congratulations Marlorie Urbanovitch for winning and making us Edmontonians proud.

Because we haven't posted in a while, here are some photos. After the show, we made it our mission to scout out as many servers as possible and get our snack on because the h'ordeurves hors d'oeuvres were delicious. Hey, don't judge, we were hungry hungry hippos.

PS: We've been procrastinating on the WCFW photos. There are so many to look through. Stay patient, internet friends.
PPS: Thank you so much to Andrew Serrano from IMG Fashion for inviting us, and to Caroline for referring us!
PPPS: If you're in Edmonton, check out West Edmonton Mall's Free Spring Fashion Show featuring fashion retailers from WEM with WCFW designers this Saturday at 3PM on Europa Boulevard (lvl 2, phase 3)!

F/W 2012 collection from Malorie Urbanovitch! We gave up taking photos at this point.
