World traveler Babs Lucas has been gathering exotic textiles from around the Orient for 11 years. Her clothing line, Babs Designs, is a stunning combination of classic elements of Asian design with the modern wear-ability needed in the Western market.
From shining Vietnamese silk blends to hand-woven Cambodian organza, Babs Designs’ 2004/2005 Collection is available from sizes 2-22 in rich jewel tones colours specifically chosen to flatter and delight. The fabrics are hand-woven, hand dyed and unavailable anywhere else in Canada.
The woman that wears Babs Designs is modern, sophisticated, and unafraid to stand out. The cut of the clothes is designed to fit curves to a tee, with straighter, lengthening cuts for petites and deeper darts and panels for fuller figures.
Whether drawn to a flowing tunic, a fitted jacket or a textured handbag, the mystery and luxury of pure silk is an irresistible way to attract even the most distinguishing of tastes.
Babs Designs is available at Willow Grant showroom on Queen St. in Toronto and in Vancouver, BC at the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Vancouver Museum and Bodacious. The price point for Babs Designs is ($TKTK). |
