BOLD WARDROBE ESSENTIALS FROM “PACK OF CRAYONS” TO RUNWAY BY VANCOUVER DESIGNER

Vancouver, BC / March 2019 – GRANDI returns to Vancouver Fashion Week on March 21st, 2019 to present Essential Colours – a vivid collection made for the daily adventures of the daring modern woman. As an extension of the Essentials line by GRANDI, the capsule collection features wardrobe staples with a technicolour twist, made easy to mix-and-match for every occasion.

“I was on a long trip once, completely starved of my usual creative outlets. Then at a Montana’s restaurant one night, the waiter brought over a little tin of crayons. I don’t remember ever being so excited to see crayons,” recounts designer Grandy.

Inspired by the potential of a common pack of crayons to intrigue creative expression, Essential Colours harnesses the power of classic silhouettes and elementary colours to form striking daily looks among today’s sea of dark wardrobe.

“Crayons are so simple and accessible, yet in different hands, they can tell wildly different stories. I love the simplicity and freedom to style it bold, fun, or quirky, or whatever you want to express about yourself,” says designer Grandy.

Based in Vancouver, GRANDI is known for its striking artistic details and timeless silhouettes. All of the GRANDI demi-couture pieces are handmade, in limited quantities, in our Vancouver atelier – with the trappings of traditional couture craftsmanship, and the accessibility demanded by our modern daily lives.
