Level up your style game with these exciting mood-boosting pieces and find comfort in fashion as you step out of the pandemic. Get inspired by some of our favourite local designers and their merchandise to add comfort to your daily dose of poppin’ colours, prints and textures!
Upon coming out of the times where there was little to rejoice about, people are now focussing more on wearing something that can reveal their personality and make them feel free as well as confident. When we think of maximalism we tend to assume something that would be hard to pull off and uncomfortable. But in recent times, dressing up has become all about feeling great in your body and looking great in your clothes. Practise the maximalist art of layering by either stacking up prints and colours in absurdity or by layering the patterns and colours of similar hues to curate an outfit. Here are a few local designers who will help you stay ahead in the game with their unique merchandise.
You make my Dopamine levels go all silly!
Kate Austin Designs from Toronto creates art that can be worn in everyday life. Being a textile print designer and a bright and fun-loving personality herself, Kate’s outfits are usually styled with a lot of print-on-print layering. The best part about her clothing is that it is made one size fits many so there is no fussing with the fit, can be styled and layered in thousands of ways and is just easy and adorable. Add a touch of maximalism to your wardrobe with Kate’s vibrant prints and stack them up into the most fun outfits! Read along to learn more about how you could style Kate’s clothing with coats and accessories as the cold weather rolls in.
A knotty affair

Winter in coming
With the cold weather coming in, a statement coat to wear over Kate’s vibrant dresses and some fun jewellery or accessories would be an amazing hit among your friends and colleagues. Toronto-based brand, Shaghayegh Tafreshi’s designs explore the art of abstract storytelling and are for creative individuals who want to express themselves freely. These coats are one size as well and provide the coolest oversized look. The body is made of a sweet velvet fabric perfect for the colder weather.
