The leaves and the temperatures are falling, and new fall fashions are here. It’s a wonderful time of year for fashionistas, and Maureen Turner, owner of Kerreen’s Clothing, located at 412 Mountain Ave., is excited about the store’s upcoming Erma and Louise Fall Fashion show.

The event, which takes place at the store on Thurs., Oct. 13 at 7 p.m., is named in honour of Erma Stuart, who recently passed away after a brave fight with cancer, and Louise Kostenchuk, who is currently battling the disease.

“Erma was near and dear to all of our hearts,” Maureen says. “And Louise loves to model. She just loves to get dressed up and get her face and hair done to the nines. She’s a crowd favourite – everybody just waits for her to come out.”

The silver collection at the event will go to Central Plains Cancer Care, but Maureen isn’t just excited about raising money for a good cause. She’s also looking forward to showing her clientele some new looks and products, including the Nygard Slim Pant. 

“There’s a lot of technology in this pant,” she explains. “It’s a straight leg, which is very in this year.”

Choosing pieces like the Slim Pant, that not only look good on the runway but also make her customers feel great, is number one for Maureen. Her inventory features clothing in petite, plus and every size in between. “We see all shapes and sizes [of women],” she says. “Women want to look nice. They want to buy something that’s going to be flattering for them...and the thing we say most often is that [your size] is just a number. It’s just a letter. It’s the fit that counts – nobody sees your label.”

Those looking to take in the show can call Kerreen’s Clothing at 204-476-3643 to reserve a chair.
