With Canadian Country Music Week tailgating on the back of Western Canada Fashion Week, it seems that Edmonton has become just that little bit more sparkly, with country gals donning their finest chandeliers to shine brighter than them there city rat folk.
I’m talking diamond encrusted cowboy belts, embossed leather watches, fancy bolo ties and heck, if you’re preferred mode of transport comes with four legs, blinged out saddles and horseshoes galore. Yee-haw! Gold picks out three key designers of this “Western Bling,” namely Stylish Addiction, Lammles and Montana Silversmiths, all of which offer a modern twist on old fashioned rodeo wear.
