Fashion Has no Borders ™ FHNB Fashion & Accessory Exposé ™:  November 18th and 19th  

A multifaceted fashion exhibition will take over the Roundup Centre in Calgary this November, bringing together students, and fashion industry experts as well as both high-profile and Canadian retailers. 

Fashion Has No Borders ™ President Sharon Cornwall is excited to bring the Fashion & Accessory Exposé ™ to Calgary after a successful run in Toronto. This new and innovative show will provide retailers with the chance to further develop their reputation as respected members of the industry, as well as present entertainment and promote fashion industry education by connecting business leaders with emerging talent.

 “The show will launch and link Canada’s up-and-coming designer superstars with many of our Nation’s quality local source manufacturers, all in support of an industry that is a crucial mainstay of our diversified economy,” said City of Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier, “Thousands right here in Calgary are employed in fashion design, manufacturing and retailing. The Fashion Has No Borders™: Fashion & Accessory Exposé™ is their showcase, a chance to prove how very, very good they are.”

 Fashion students will have the chance to come and showcase their designs and creations on the runway, and future beauty school students will be able to gain more insight into the colourful world of fashion by talking to industry experts about their experience. Young Calgarians will also have a chance to perform during the ‘Fashion Theatre’ portion of the runway show. Prizes and educational bursaries will be awarded during the exposé, including ‘Designer of the year’ and ‘fashion photographer of the year’.

 “Fashion Has No Borders™: Fashion & Accessory Exposé™ is a great opportunity for the Olds College fashion students to get exposure to the industry they are studying,” said Terry Males, Chair of the School of Business at Olds College. “In Western Canada the networking at ground level of the fashion industry is difficult to find.  There is no real resource that is easily accessible to young minds to discover the extent of how rewarding our industry can be.”

 The wide array of retailers at the exposé will be split into a handful of differing categories. Kiosks featuring vintages pieces, accessories, and sport and street-inspired fashion will each have their own “zones.” Additionally, there will be zones for higher profile designers, menswear, beauty products and personal wellness.

 So, for all the fashion lovers and future fashion entrepreneurs out there, get ready for the Fashion Has No Borders™ Fashion & Accessory Exposé™ happening on November 18th and 19th from 12 P.M. until 9 P.M. both days. Cost for entry is $9, or $5 for high school and beauty school students with ID. For more information visit http://www.fashionhasnoborders.com.

When it comes to fashion, Men are quiet involved but not as showy like women. They hide their personal fashion desire. Really? Yes, its quite like that but not intends for all men… Some men are showy too but it deals on different fashion which they’ve possess. There are few men who have their fashion consciousness which they are showy enough like women in being possessive when it comes to fashion styles, fashion designs, fashion lifestyle, and fashion trends.

Let’s talk about the fashion of the masses, fashion of common people that gives an identity of how does a certain fashion trends are called “IN”. Men’s fashion consciousness are common to teens or boys. They are conscious on what they wear and what style do they depict. In this point of view, the fashion desires of men are dwells on what does the in demand fashion lifestyle are covered on the world of fashion. Fashionista is common only for women fashioner.

If we talk on men’s fashion, we deals not only on the fashion as clothing line is concern. Men’s fashion depicts variety of things that dwells on the lifestyle of every men. Though women fashion pertains in different things also but not as focus into the fashion lifestyle like in men do.

Men’s Fashion are dealing with different aspects which govern their lifestyle. An aspects of depicting their fashion through love, morality, life, activity, and material. In these possession of men’s fashion, their desire to uplift their lifestyle in these aspects are deals on their ability to compromise on what lifestyle do they possess. In these aspects of men’s fashion reveals the secret of men with regards to fashion lifestyle.

Here are the secrets of men when it comes to fashion. As far as Fashion is concern, men are able to contribute their fashion desire. The secret is because of love. Love can control the fashion of a man. How? When his partner talk on what clothes he can wear. Absolutely, men can change their fashion styles in favor into their loveone to make them satisfy on how do they look in the eye of their loveone’s. Another one is morality, moral is one of the aspect that make a men descent for depicting fashion. Moral is important for men in order to get more ladies. Ha ha ha! Yes, I’m not kidding. They want to be descent in their personalities in order to win the heart of a lady. Oh! I should say win the heart of the ladies. Next is about the activity of men. Men’s activities are always connects with their fashion lifestyle. They turn into their fashion clothings and some other things with regards into fashion. In every activities they perform it shows how they carry their style of fashion. And behind those activities they have, it was dedicated to women of their life. And another aspect is the material aspects which totally involved all the fashion of men. Materials such as clothes, cars, gadgets, etc. are important for a man. Why? It was important because he want to make impress the girls around him. Men are became materialistic because they want to impress something. In generalization, for those aspects of fashion lifestyle of men. The hidden secrets are women. Beyond all those things, women are the reasons.
