Denis Gagnon

Last weeks trip to Montreal has sprung up all sorts of inspiration and admiration for the Eastern Canadian talent that often gets overlooked by us over here on the West Coast. A chance pit stop along Saint-Paul Street of Vieux Montreal led me to the incredible designs of local designer, Denis Gagnon. His "couture approach to leather and precise cut of silk" make him one of the most sought after studios in the city and designers of his kind in North America.

Stine Riis - One to Watch

This Fall, Copenhagen Native Stine Riis is the one to watch. The most recent recipient UK Finalist of the H&M Design Award is leading the way with a mature, defined and detail orientated AW/2012 Collection.

A graduate of the London College of Fashion, Riis evolves her designs from a less is more strategy and pulls inspiration from European Sculptors, Architects and Artists.  Always in mind is the lifestyle of the women she is designing for, modern women who desire elegant pieces that can take them through each of the events of their day. 

Below are some key looks for this Fall created by Stine for H&M.
