Nova Scotia Business Inc. - Nova Scotia Fashion Designers Create Collections Inspired by the G8 Women

u p d a t e

In September 2010, celebrities straight from the red carpet will be testing out, trying on and taking home Nova Scotia fashions during the Toronto International Film Festival. The buzz from the fashion collections inspired by the G8 women caught the attention of a Los Angeles entertainment company Dubois, Pelin and Associates (DPA).

DPA has hosted gifting lounges for the Emmys and the Golden Globes, and has invited Michique Handbags, LouLouBell and Glass Harp Gallery to showcase their unique designs at an exclusive gifting lounge during the Toronto International Film Festival!

Make room for Nova Scotia's fashion industry.

Inspired by the women of the G8, four Nova Scotia fashion designers have collaborated on collections specifically designed to celebrate each one and her individual fashion flair. See what they've put together for Carla, Michelle, Samantha, Laureen, Nobuko, Margarida, Angela, Svetlana and Geertrui.

The "Carla" Collection ~ France

The Carla Collection

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is chic, trendy and not afraid of making a statement. Her high-profile lifestyle, rich in experience, art and cause has fashioned Carla to become one of the most followed and photographed first ladies of France.

The "Michelle" Collection ~ United States

The Michelle Collection
Michelle Obama is one of the most high profile and powerful women in the world. No matter the event she’s attending or speech to be delivered, she does it in her own confident and admired style. Michelle’s beauty, elegance and strength inspire designers and women worldwide.

The "Samantha" Collection ~ United Kingdom

The Samantha Collection

Samantha Cameron’s style is simple and elegant, fresh and fashion forward. The British tabloids often refer to the new Prime Minister’s wife as Sam Cam while featuring her latest fashion choices. Samantha still works part-time as a creative consultant and is expecting her fourth child this fall.

"So when NSBI asked us to take a look at their exciting new campaign, NSFashion.ca, and the products made by Nova Scotia artisans, we thought it was a good fit with the mandate of our blog (I can hear L-A now, “We have a mandate?”) and we were pleased to oblige."

"Women’s rights worldwide is a hot button issue this time around, so it’s fitting that entire fashion collections were carefully crafted with these leading ladies in mind. The collections celebrate the power of women, fashion and Nova Scotian talent."
