When the Constitution Act was signed in Canada on On July 1, 1867 we technically became a British dominion, so historically our national holiday has always been a little lame. But times are changing and finally our girl Canada is surpassing her rivals. To the south Donald Trump is going all sorts of crazy and to the east the Brits have left Europe and One Direction has disbanded. So look who's laughing now. Not only do we have a pretty sweet prime minister who can casually explain quantum computing and do yoga, but recently our fashion has been making its way into American markets too. In celebration of Canada, the freshest #girlboss in NATO, we've narrowed down seven Canadian fashion brands that are absolutely killing it right now.
L’Intervalle
L’Intervalle is following the footsteps of Aritzia and Aldo and quickly becoming one of Canada’s biggest fashion houses”except their footsteps are shaped like the pair of Italian leather mules you’ve been looking for everywhere. The company started in Montreal a few years ago and although they are still only in Quebec, you can order online or if you’re lucky you can spot them at small boutiques around town (note Victoire on Ossington!). This new Canadian brand seamlessly incorporates current trends with quality products and design, and at this point I’d just like to go on the record and say I totally found them first.
