The sophomore edition of Alberta Fashion Week starts Sunday. Here are our Top 5 must-sees:

Showing for the first time, NRT Fashions’ fall collection is on-trend with a mix of utilitarian chic and Lady Gaga-inspired whimsy.

Kyle Nylund’s dreamy creations are more runway than reality, but when it comes to fashion, a girl has got to dream.

We loved Caitlin Power’s mix of rock chic and feminine feel last season so here’s hoping she makes us swoon again.

This will be veteran designer Haithem Elkadiki’s first solo runway presentation in Calgary, and he’s also closing the week. His label KaaDiki is a mix of sleek silhouettes with bold accents in just the right places, and touches of his signature red hue.

Calgary-born, Vancouver-based Jason Matlo is a master at creating elegant ready-to-wear pieces with sharp silhouettes and Old Hollywood glamour.

Alberta Fashion Week runs March 20-27. For a complete schedule and tickets, go to www.albertafashionweek.ca

The inaugural Alberta Fashion Week launches today with 2010 spring/summer shows by former Project Runway Canada contestant Adejoké Taiwo and Dutch Blonde at the uber-cool Banke space on Stephen Avenue.

The week continues with daily runway shows, after-parties and a boutique trunk show on Saturday with shops including Pink Sugar and Boutik. Ones to watch include Caitlin Power (pictured) and Shelly Kanyo.

Don’t be too sexy for this catwalk.

ABFW runs until October 10; tickets and schedule here.
