2009 was an exciting year! I was featured in The Province July 13th, and that was followed by an invitation to appear with Sophie Lui on Global TV Noon News on July 18th. Both were wonderful opportunities and experiences!!
I've now added my second design - for the city - London, Paris, Rome, New York - wherever your travels might take you. (I wore the prototype in New York in the fall, and have just returned from Australia where I found the entire set invaluable, as I wore it many different ways, and enjoyed how comfortable and versatile it proved to be - just as I'd hoped!)
THANK YOU to everyone who was able to join me in celebrating the launch of my 2nd design on January 26, 2010 at SO.CIAL at Le Magasin. I think a good time was had by all!
I took part in my first show at Canamade in Gastown, during the first week of Olympics, and enjoyed getting together with other designers who all take pride in showing Made in Canada on their designs of art, clothing, jewellery and home accessories. It was a good experience, and I hope to do more shows this year.
I still have a few of my first design available.
Here are the sizes and colours on hand (August 1, 2010).
Small (4/6) - white (8) lilac tunic with white pieces (7) all black set (5)
Medium (8/10) - choc. tunic with white pieces (5) all black set(9)
Large (12/14) - white (6) choc. tunic with white pieces (1) all black set (1)
XXL (20/22) - all black set (5)
