Vancouver Fashion Jobs – Designer Profile: Roxanne Nikki

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

She may not be a household name yet, but with her theatrical designs and some of Hollywood’s movers and shakers adorning themselves in her pieces, you will no doubt soon get to know who the very talented Roxanne Nikki really is. Vancouver based and Winnipeg born, Nikki is no newcomer to the fashion business – having worked in many facets of the industry and ultimately launching her self-titled label in 1994, this local designer has done Montreal, Paris and more. With a keen eye for womenswear, she also successfully designs a menswear line – a truly daunting task to most designers. Clean, modern lines, with the theatrics of a rockstar, her latest collection cohesively covers a contemporary woman with an edge and an eye for luxurious fabrics, and a man with a bold statement to make. It is no wonder strong women have appeared in her designs – case in point, Milla Jovovich in “The Messenger” campaign.  Wearable, a little wild and certainly not dull, local is anything but boring with Nikki in the mix, and we can’t wait to see what she designs next.

Edmonton Fashion Jobs – Toronto Fashion Week: The Ones to Watch

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011


It’s always fun to see the latest collections from some of Canada’s most well-known designers, but LGFW is also about supporting new local talent. Here are three emerging designers that showed last week at David Pecaut Square that we think will become an important part of Canada’s style scene.


Caitlin Power 
Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Caitlin Power has caught the attention of Avenue magazine,
Toronto Fashion Incubator, and the White Cashmere Collection. With an aesthetic inspired by androgyny and architecture, her Spring/Summer 2012 show at LGFW featured sultry cut-outs and angular shapes that demand attention.
Cassie Dee
This patternmaker and instruction turned designer launched her own line in 2010. Her show was part of the Mercedes Benz start up show, meant to showcase emerging talent, and was a cohesive line of western-inspired pieces accented by burnt orange prints.

Anu Raina

This is Anu Raina’s second show at LGFW after a successful debut in April, and she has been featured in the Globe and Mail and CBC Radio as a promising entrepreneur. Raina’s unique textiles and flair with colourful prints make her sweet, simple designs stand out.
