Toronto Fashion Week: Sarah Stevenson brings a fresh perspective on prints
Inspired by a mid-winter’s visit to the greenhouses at Toronto’s Allan Gardens, newcomer Sarah Stevenson brings a fresh perspective on prints to the Canadian fashion scene. Her debut collection was a romantic lineup of pastel-coloured lilies, tulips and apple blossoms (made modern in a cool kaleidoscope print). Hand painted floral degrade dresses made the grade, as did the art nouveau–inspired graphic swirl frocks. Stevenson’s mix of silk, satin and chiffon is not only ultra-feminine but eco-conscious as well (think natural fibers, printed to order to minimize waste). We can’t wait to watch Stevenson grow.
