Marc Cain Is Seeing Stars This Spring

 

Marc Cain Sports "Denim Curves" Spring 2012 Collection

 

Marc Cain was founded in 1973 in Germany.  All product lines of the labels Marc Cain Collections and Marc Cain Sports reflect the spirit of the time in their very own way and classiness. It is the kind of fashion which always makes a difference but never betrays its principles: Distinctive and unmistakable.

The Marc Cain Sports’ “Denim Curves” collection is a celebration of denim couture.  The variations of printed, painted, washed and tie-dyed pieces tastefully complete a fun, sophisticated look.  The denim collection consists of stars and stripes which are meant to be cross-styled and provide the luxury of being comfortable.  Being comfortable is the companies first priority in terms of material, processing and fit.  Marc Cain currently uses 88 knitting machines and processes 240,000 kg of yarn a year – which is enough to wrap the earth 59 times.  This Makes Marc Cain unique in the fashion world.

The Marc Cain Collections label is carried at the Blu’s Womens Wear store in Edmonton at Manulife Place.  The Marc Cain Sports label is carried at the Edmonton Southgate Centre and Calgary Southcentre Mall locations.    

Why Shoe Designer Stuart Weitzman Is Known As The "King Of The Red Carpet"

Stuart Weitzman, the shoe designer known as the “King of the Red Carpet” talks to CBS “Early Show” contributor Katrina Szish about his early career dreams of working on Wall Street but instead followed in his father’s footsteps as a shoe manufacturer and designer.  His mother was a model and recalls his father designing extremely gorgeous high heals for her and was fascinated that the shoes never collapsed and that began his love affair with shoes.  Stuart Weitzman took his hobby of shoe designing and started out designing bridal shoes, then evening shoes, party shoes and the business prospered from there.  

Stuart Weitzman is the elite shoe designer on every 1000 designs he creates each season.  He has had the same foot model for the last thirty two years and she wears every single design three times before it is released in stores to make sure that there is not a compromise on fit. Stuart will make adjustments or redesign to insure the shoes fit properly.  His attention to detail and perfectionism is why he has starlets including Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie, Carrie Underwood, Kate Winslet, Eva Longoria and Jennifer Hudson wearing his designs.

Stuart Weitzman gained worldwide recognition at the 2002 Oscars when he designed the “Million Dollar Shoe” made of diamonds worn by Laura Elena Harring. 

This is just a couple of examples of the gorgeous Stuart Weitzman designer shoes Blu's is carrying this spring. 

Stuart Weitzman now 70 was asked if he would be retiring anytime soon and he replied “You retire from a job but who retires from a hobby?  I certainly won’t.”  So we can be assured Stuart Weitzman is not retiring anytime soon.

TRUDY GALLAGHER OF BEJEWEL STICKS AND STONES SPRING 2012 TRUNK SHOW

TRUDY GALLAGHER OF BEJEWEL
SPRING 2012 TRUNK SHOW

Sticks and stones is the culmination of a life long obsession with rocks, stones and interesting twigs and bits of wood from endless hours of beach combing and rambles through nature. Now that life long pursuit is turning into wearable souvenirs and memories of quiet exploration, walking meditation and musing to one's self. It is our wish and prayer that by wearing Bejewel's sticks and stones, you will feel inspired, soothed, reminded of the cycle of life and natural adorned.
