It’s a man’s world, but she’s the boss

With quick clic-clac strides of stilettos, followed by a sultry sway of her hips, she heavily BBMs away before the next meeting; the hard working, busy little feline has places to be and people to dominate.

This is a woman who commands wonder when she enters the room. The top buttons of her white blouse are left unfastened, her hair is perfectly tussled, and those luscious red lips are as appetising as Snow White’s apple. With the snap of two fingers you find yourself catering to her every demand. She likes things done her way, and she makes clear, there is no other way. And she gets away with it because she is a diva.

On the 7th April 2012, Heels & Heart presented Nemesis: Good vs. Evil, their 3rd Annual Wearable Art Fashion Show. This year, the catwalk’s cause was the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, “an organisation dedicated to funding blood cancer research and patient services to help those battling with blood cancers live longer, better lives” (from the show’s program).

Set up in the trendy Mile End building Espace Reunion, the fashion show’s ambiance was modern, chic and meaningful—as though we had been transported to Manhattan’s meatpacking district for an intimate preview of the latest von Furstenberg or McQueen collection.
