Vancouver’s Little Houses
Thursday, December 11th, 2008
While I don’t necessarily go out of my way to hunt down women’s fashions, when something catches my eye I’m gonna share it. And the carefully crafted pieces from the Vancourver-based studio Little Houses definitely caught my eye. Designer Shanah Lewis (according to her MySpace page) got started about four years ago while still a student, and her designs have continued to grow since. Her jackets are particularly awesome - now if she’d just take a crack at some men’s designs, I need a new jacket!
There’s a good, quick interview with Shanah over on the Stylist.com blog where she explains some of her inspirations and ideas:
I get really inspired by people who are doing the same thing as me and doing really well at it. It definitely pushes me to keep going. I also have some very talented and artistic friends who inspire me all the time. My husband plays a huge part in that as well, he is super creative and has really good ideas, anytime I’m stuck on an idea for a new garment, I always ask him for help.
Her pieces are available from either Etsy or SuperMarket.
