Last week, I bought several items (two dresses, a top and a pair of shoes) from http://www.rachelroy.com/. I got the items shipped to my brother's house in Chicago to eliminate the huge shipping out-of-US charge. Lucky for the rest of you Torontonians, however...Rachel Roy will now be sold right here at the upscale section of The Bay, known as The Room.
I've been a fan of her designs for awhile now...but haven't been able to afford any of it until the recently launched RACHEL collection, complete with statement jewellery and very wearable shoes. I was most impressed with a batik clutch made by women in Tanzania and Rwanda through Rachel's Fairwinds Collection that focuses on: One-of-a kind works of art created using patterns and techniques unique to its community of origin. Income from the sale of these items enhances a craftwomen's family's nutrition, educates children, and brings access to healthcare and dignity. Hot. Socially concious fashion is ALWAYS in style. I don't know much about the designer except that she is STUNNINGLY beautiful and seemed to be in a mis-matched marriage to one half of The Roc, Dame Dash. None of that is really important though, fashion with a purpose is always a good look ;)
Check her out!
