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.
Mimi and Hammer
This is not your typical swimsuit company, which is to say that browsing through their online store might make you feel confident and excited for summer instead of self conscious and running to the nearest gym. In fact, Mimi and Hammer says their pieces are a creative mix of positive energy and softness, femininity and strength, and that they are a brand whose mission is to help women feel good about themselves and their bodies. Now that’s an ethos I can buy into. Whether you’re looking for a one-piece, two-piece or a swimsuit with cats on it, this new Canadian fashion brand has it all.
