Jumping on the Canadian fashion bandwagon has never been easier, thanks to the opening of Meese’s second location, Meese on 124 (10240 124th St., Unit 006, Edmonton, 780-418-1388, meeseclothing.com). Dedicated exclusively to Canadian and local talent, co-owner Tressa Heckbert has stocked the store with bold frocks by Frank Lyman Design, vintage-inspired designs by Cinder + Smoke, separates by Preloved and, of course, Heckbert’s own label, Sessa Wearables, a collection that caters to the urban professional.
A favourite at the store is Suka Clothing, a label from Edmonton’s Alisha Schick. “We’re her number one fan,” says Heckbert. “We love her use of unique fabrics and edgy details, such as sequins, lace and exposed zippers.”
