Day 5 of Western Canada Fashion Week kicked off with Rebecka Pichoch's "Electric Tea Party Makeup," a neon, glo-in-the-dark extravaganza featuring an Alice In Wonderland theme complete with Mad Hatters, rabbit ears, tea pot cut-outs and playing cards tossed capriciously to the audience.

Finally, Natasha Lazarovic showed off 50 to 100-year-old wedding headdresses borrowed from the National Ukrainian Museum of Canada. This collection paid homage to her heritage while putting a new spin on a traditional staple.
