Lady Gaga

So we know all know Lady Gaga loves to wear outrageous shoes. You know the one's we're talking about...the extremely high platforms with absolutely no heel, meaning zero forms of support. Not sure what we're talking about? Take a look...



Not only does she wear them out and about, but she's performed in them on more than one occasion. Now we're all for funky shoes, but for the sake of women's feet, calves, and overall posture, we really hope these heelless shoes don't become a trend! You definitely won't see them available at this Thursday's shoe auction.

Julie Pedersen - Muckies

Winnipeg designer Julie Pedersen is the creator of these amazing boots, Muckies. She's had a strong interest in fashion since she started modelling at the age of 15. She went on to study fashion design in Vancouver before making her way back to Winnipeg. When she came back it was in the middle of a cold winter and all she could think about was how she needed a good pair of boots. We all know how hard in can be to find boots that are warm and fashionable at the same time, so which one do we choose?










Julie chose both! She designed a pair of pink Muckies for herself and it wasn't long before people wanted to place orders. The great thing about her boots is that they're all custom made, so you can choose whatever colour combinations you want; perfect if you're tired of only being able to buy boots in black, grey, and brown. 











Not only has Julie designed boots for Winnipeggers, but she's designed for celebrities as well. Now we know what you're thinking..."Are these celebrities people have actually heard of?" Well if Britney Spears, Katy Perry, and Rumer Willis don't ring a bell, then we don't know who does!

One of the things we love most about these Muckies....is that you can get them made for babies, too! How cute is that?







The next time you're looking for a fabulous pair of warm and fashionable boots, you'll know where to turn --> Julie Pedersen!

Red Dress Gala & Fashion Show

A couple of weeks ago a third party event was held in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. A student from the Creative Communications program at Red River College hosted a Red Dress Gala & Fashion Show which featured hors d'oeuvres, chocolate covered strawberries, wine sponsored by Colby Red, silent auction prizes, and a fashion show featuring the work of 5 local designers. 

Winnipeg is starting to become known for it's local fashion industry and the Red Dress Gala was a great event to introduce the talented designers that create beautiful art in our very own backyard. Here are some of the designs that went down the runway at the event!
