It is such an honour to, again, be voted 2nd place “Best local designer-clothing store”! Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us!

 

And thank you to the team I work with who makes it possible day in and day out. The passionate guys and gals who clip and press, who blog and chat, who dress you up and retail therapy all day, who come up with ideas and make things happen and especially thank you for cleaning up my crafting messes! It takes special people to go out of their way to make things as local, as sustainable, as ethical and as affordable as possible all the while keeping it cutting edge and cute and this team does it better every day.

 

I am also super excited about all the goodies we are getting up to. With solid moving and opening stores and studios every year for the past 6+ years we are finally settling down, though only for a bit, before our next big move, giving us time to make even more underwear than ever!

Keep it funky and fun Vancouver!

 

XOXO Stephanie O

Fall is coming… And you’re going to love it!

It’s that time of year again. Summer hasn’t yet sung its swan song but fall is arriving in the stores. Don’t loose hope yet! There’s still some warm weather to enjoy on the way but fall is my favourite season for fashion.
Texture and layering play a big part in this season giving way to lots of personal creativity and adornment. Recently I have been inspired by the unseen, the intangible, the Dao and the other side of the veil. For fall/winter 2016/17 I enjoyed expressing the melding of spirit and life, lucid dreaming and the magic of mathematics. Represented with linen prints, lines, bamboo in electric colour and weightless structures I think you are really going to enjoy integrating these pieces into your wardrobe mixing in your timeless classics. I am going big on layering because not only is it a style choice but a matter of comfort as we go from the dog days of summer into the dead of winter. Don’t hold back, wear things your own way, mix and match jewelry and accessories, layer up your tights and thigh highs and try something new!

As per usual we are releasing fall slowly and hope to have new styles every few days  for your enjoyment but keep an eye out for the new underwear colours and jewelry styles which enhance this clothing collection. Come touch and be inspired by the hand spun hand knit marvels, the softness of angora and cashmere, the drape of alpaca, the warmth of wool.

I say it every season but this one is so far the best!
XoXo your energetic designer, Stephanie Ostler
