Last Saturday I, along with a few other fashion bloggers and artsy-farsty folks, was invited to judge the Windows on Whyte (WOW) window display competition in Edmonton's Old Strathcona Fashion District. Eight students from Grant MacEwan University each competed for a chance to win gift cards from all of the stores participating (Bamboo Ballroom, Foosh, Mars and Venus, Oak + Fort, Gravity Pope, Colourblind, Avenue Clothing and Plush), tickets to Western Canada Fashion Week and local recognition during WCFW. I was blown away by how creative and innovative these students were in creating their masterpieces. It was so hard to judge and pick the window that I thought should win because they were all so brilliant!
Bamboo Ballroom window display. Marilyn, Twiggy and Audrey, three of my favorite icons. I'll say this now: it is so freakin' hard trying to take photos of windows! That's why you will only see a few, sadly : (.
Gravity Pope. The designer was a master of origami and extremely detail-oriented.

The results:
1st Place was a tie between Bamboo Ballroom (Sarah Kobasiuk) and Oak + Fort (Jessica Fleury)
2nd place went to Mar + Venus (Kim Anderson)
3rd place went to Gravity Pope (Shuang Wang)
Congratulations!
