The Schmanciest

1 / 31 / 142 / 9 / 14

Schmancy Style Red CarpetWith wind chill making it feel like -30, it was a cccold red carpet last night. Nevertheless, it was braved by hundreds of hatless fashion fans…IMG_3160… who crowded inside Belgo Brasserie, where their efforts paid off:  everyone’s hair was fabulous. It was all in the name of the second annual Schmancy Style, which supports the Glenbow Museum. IMG_3730The crowd parted for the main event when the first model strutted like Moses through the Red Sea. Below are some of my favorite looks, all available at Holt Renfrew.IMG_3760IMG_3757IMG_3169IMG_3758IMG_3174

IMG_3233The crush of cameras at the end of the runway was as feverish as a New York fashion show. Except the dude kneeling in front of us who kept getting up to give his knees a break, blocking our shots. That would result in bloodshed at NYC’s Fashion Week. But we kept it injury-free in YYC.IMG_3755The finale flaunted fur, which we Calgarians will probably need to keep wearing until June.IMG_3156Silent auction featured many stylish items, including this Jekyll & Hyde Harness by FarLee Mowat.IMG_3163Stylish people included three quarters of the Vinegar Designs Lab. Vincent, where are you? Tiffany Burns & Jason GogoThe Schmanciest Man of the Evening Award goes to Jason Gogo, who executed a high kick during our photo op. Now that’s Schmancy Style!

Schmancy Fashion Show

1 / 26 / 131 / 27 / 13

I was a little concerned when I arrived at the fundraiser for the Glenbow Museum and saw the swag. Pencils? Cardboard George??P1020363Then I ordered champagne and it came in a can. But since it was Sophia Coppola’s sparkling wine, with bendy straw, accompanied by Givenchy-wearing software genius Drew Tollerud, suddenly, the evening had potential.P1020370 Then the show started:

P1020406

P1020407Jaunty Martha’s Vineyard-inspired moments started to zip by on Belgo’s purple-taped hardwood.P1020414P1020415Whoops! Who sent that pink bag out twice? And may I suggest removing that superfluous strap?

P1020395

P1020394All clothes from Holt Renfrew’s spring collection. Was the style actually schmancy? Not sure. But was Schmancy Style a fun evening raising money for a museum that celebrates Western Canada? Yes. Yes it was.P1020400
