Ines' spotlight on Canadian designers: Sarah Stevenson

Sarah Stevenson is a the young, talented fashion designer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who recently competed and won the Toronto Fashion Incubator New Labels competition.

Sarah's unique designs are reminiscent of Dutch still life paintings of the Baroque era, and will be seen within the year in Target stores across Canada. Now that this popular chain has ventured above the border, Target is hoping to celebrate Canada. What better way to do this than to celebrate a young, motivated, talented new Canadian designer?

Sarah's fashions are truly beautiful, complementing the feminine form and pairing flowery florals with bold, exciting colors.

Personally, I fully intend to keep a close watch on Sarah's collections, and will be eagerly waiting to bring them home to add to my personal collection!

The delightful colors and patterns used in Sarah's creations can be perfectly matched with the unique colors of Ines Gloves. Try a short-sleeved dress with a pair of my sensual shoulder high gloves (on special at Ines' glove shop!) or pair longer sleeves with my silk-lined every day glace gloves for the ultimate in sensuality and elegance!

Ines loves Marilyn Monroe...

 

 Marilyn Monroe is perhaps one of the most recognized and iconic movie stars of the Golden Age. She was born Norma Jeane on 1 June, 1926, and found her fame in the movies of the 1950s and early 1960s.

After spending her early years living in foster homes, Marilyn began a career as a model, before quickly moving to the movies and starring in a series of films that lead to major appearances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (1950). She used her "dumb blonde" persona for comedic effect in many roles, but through it all, she would become one of America's greatest sex symbols.

Marilyn Monroe may have passed away in August of 1962, but her fashion presence has made a huge impact on popular culture. She was the embodiment of class, elegance, and feminine charm.
