Letter from the Publisher
It’s been a busy few months
here at Line. Interviews,
photo shoots, travelling,
meeting amazing models,
store owners and other
business owners in the
area. In June I traveled to
Fredericton to meet with
the fashion council. From
that meeting I went on to
discover the booming fashion
community they have. Soon
I will be off to PEI to do the
same. I feel very lucky to be
part of the fashion community
in Atlantic Canada. Line is a
great channel for connecting all the pockets of fashion in
the region to create a strong and united fashion industry!
Besides the talented designers and stylist boutiques,
I keep finding more and more fashion events too. I
attended my first Red Hot in the City event with bloggers
Kayla Short and Mo Handahu. The event showcased
local shop Foreign Affair follow by students from the
Center for Arts and Technology. Ending the show were
veteran designers, Veronica MacIsaac, Kim Munson and
Lisa Drader-Murphy. The fashion was as amazing as the
food, decor and local wine, Nova 7. The event was in
support of The Heart and Stroke Foundation. Find out
more about the event and the Foundation in this issue.
Issue four in September will be our biggest and best
yet! No resting between issues as I have already started
lining up interviews and collecting as much fashion
as I can for the fall issue. September will be a big
month for Halifax. Both Atlantic Fashion Week and the
Atlantic Film Festival will be taking place. Line will be
relaunching our new website in time to bring you all the
information on both events.
Want to always be on top of local fashion? Make Line
your resource for all things fashionable in the Atlantic
Canada.

Letter from the Photo Editor
One thing many people may not know about
magazine photo-shoots is that most of them are
planned out in substantial detail well before a
shutter clicks or a flash fires.
From concepts to mood boards; makeup and
hair to location wardrobe and gear choice - it’s
all thought of in advance. But once on set or
on location, random and unforeseen events can
intervene and undermine all your good effort. .
Such was the case for most of the shoots in
this issue. A TV camera crew invaded the
studio during the Envy editorial; weather three
times scrapped our feature editorial on Ocean
Optical’s sunglass collection necessitating my
attempt to fake the look of an outdoor shoot in
the studio on yet another rainy day. And during
the Value Village shoot, stumbling across a
man and Salvador, his pet snake, made for a
very fun adventure, particularly for model
Emma, who was instantly seduced by his
serpent charms.
And often it’s these random changes and
happenstances which can lead to the best
shots on the day. Learning when to embrace
the randomness, when to abandon plans is
one of the toughest and most useful skills a
photographer can develop.

The Heart
of Fashion
Could fashion play a part in changing the
mindsets of women? Over my many years
working in communications at the Heart
and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick,
it has always been my goal to find a vehicle
to make our message—that lifestyle changes
can reduce your risk of heart disease by as
much as 80 percent—stand out.
darcy leblanc
Communications Manager,
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick
A Fashion Statement in Red
When I first heard about the Heart Truth campaign, I fell in
love. Educating woman through fashion? Clearly a brilliant
idea and a creative way to spark some excitement about our
cause, while at the same time highlighting talented women
from our province in endless ways. This might work, I
thought.
Of course I knew that in Canada’s hot spots such as Toronto,
the Heart Truth could fly with ease. With top Canadian
designers at their fingertips and reality TV shows like
Canada’s Next Top Model, the campaign would compliment
what is hot right now in pop culture. My challenge was
having the Heart Truth Fashion Show take off here in our
little province of New Brunswick. After all, it’s not a province
known for its high fashion. Still, I was not ready to give up
just yet. I wanted to show what this province could do.
First challenge: find local designers who would not only be
talented, and available, but also community-minded and
willing to donate their talent to our mission. I found them.
Like discovering a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes in my local
thrift shop, (luckily) I found Ellen Woolaver, lead fashion
head for the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design in
Fredericton. She was ecstatic to participate and confident
that her former students would be as excited to accept the
challenge.
And she was true to her word. Eager, talented, philanthropic,
and hardworking, these designers sketched, designed,
struggled, sewed, and persevered to create the amazing red
dresses that covered our local papers for the past five years.

Looking back through the photos in my
office, all of this creative work was done
in honour of preventing women’s heart
disease—how amazing is that?
Five years of red-carpet photos. Guests
in the casino lobby serenaded by local
piano players—and this past year,
cellist Jaeyoung Chong. Amazing hosts
and entertainers including Jessica
Holmes, Jeanne Becker, and Chantal
Kreviazuk. Models including award-
winning New Brunswick violinist
Samantha Robichaud, Olympian
Maryanne Limpert, author Sheree
Fitch, prominent businesswomen like
Aldéa Landry, politicians…the list goes
on and on. But the stars of our show are
the young heart-disease survivors:
Alyssa Crowley, Britney Brewster,
Ashley Hanson, Astena Marsh, and this
year, miss Emma Theriault. They are
always the finale, walking the runway
while “The Beat of My Heart” plays,
with a guaranteed standing ovation and
chills throughout the room. Prominent
cardiologists educate the audience
each year through film, identifying
potential risks and warning signs of
heart disease and stroke, showing us
how to take charge of heart health.
From the music to the amazing
entertainment, each year we bring the
Red Dress to life. With pulsating lights
and music reflecting original designs,
we get to see dresses ranging from New
Age to elegant, simple to dramatic.
Looking back, I could not have asked
for more: the models, the audience, but
mainly the fashion. And each year I
wonder how we will top it. Regardless,
one thing is certain, fashion can change
mindsets, and hopefully it will change
lives.
8. RED
HOTin Halifax
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of
Halifax put on its Red Hot event on June
13. Held at the Prince George Hotel, the
event featured students from the Fashion
Design and Merchandising program at
the Centre for Arts and Technology. The
runway show started with stylish pieces from
local retail shop Foreign Affair. Designers
Veronica MacIsaac, Kim Munson and Lisa
Drader-Murphy created amazing red designs
auctioned off at the event. Their designs
were also modeled on the runway during the
show.

The Prince George was decorated red
and white and guests too, dressed
in red. The décor was simple and
elegant. White linens, red candles
with glass vases and crystal chairs.
Red lights appropriately lined
the runway while live music was
provided by the Rhapsody Quartet
and Tom Collins Band. Proceeds from
the rental of the hotels Red Room will
also go toward the Heart and Stroke
Foundation.
The event was managed by some
Halifax’s fashion elite including City
Models owner Angela Campagnoni,
Fashion Design and Merchandising
instructor Michelle Kulyk, and
other committee members: Avril
Mulholland, Carrie Lamb, Debbie
Burris, Susan Johnston and Honorary
event chair: Lynda Suissa. Emcee for
the evening was CTV’s own Maria
Panopalis who mingled with guest
before starting her speaking duties.
Models were provided by City Models
and hair by Jonathan Neil Salon.
Similar to the event in Fredericton,
Fabricville provided material for the
new and emerging design challenge.
Each of them were given just $60 to
create a unique and stylish design for
the show.
The event, in its fourth year, has
raised over $350,000 in support of
the Foundation. The Foundation
itself was established in 1956 and
has raised more than $1.4 billion
towards heart disease research. Keep
an eye on the Heart and Strokes
website to participate and attend next
year’s event.

years ago,
envy was created to cater to
the fashion-forward crowd
that dress more for their
attitude than their age. The
demand for the Atlantic Canadian
company’s attire, which includes
bestselling brands BB Dakota,
Canada Goose, Free People,
French Connection, and Maison
Scotch, has allowed envy to expand
from three to seven stores in the
past two years. Current locations
include two stores each in Halifax
and Fredericton, as well as single
locations in Sydney, Nova Scotia,
St. John, New Brunswick, and St.
John’s, Newfoundland. By providing
its customers with various price points,
envy makes it entirely possible to
create a jaw-dropping ensemble without
draining your wallet.
I sat down recently with Sarah Cornelissen,
buyer for envy, the day she was flying to
Madrid on a business trip. She was eager
to share with me how much she enjoys
working for the company and how each of its
Atlantic Canadian locations brings in lines
and styles specific to its unique clientele.
Through careful examination of what sells
in each store, locations can predict which
new products may do well in certain areas.
Buying trips can happen several times a
month, with New York City, Los Angeles,

Las Vegas, Toronto, and Montreal as
the usual destinations.
Now that we’re entering the short-
and-sweet Atlantic Canadian summer,
envy has some new choices to create
that perfect warm-weather ensemble.
The Halifax store will carry Yoga jeans
and Vince Camuto for the first time,
while high-waisted jeans and shorts,
tribal print, lace, black-and-white,
maxi skirts and dresses, and lots of
denim are Sarah’s picks for creating
a stylish Summer 2013 wardrobe. For
accessories, statement necklaces and
stackable bracelets will finish off your
look.
Sarah’s sartorial brain is already
thinking ahead to Holiday 2013 and
Spring 2014 already, and she finished
buyingfornextseasonafewmonthsago.
For Fall 2013, envy will provide more
pieces with clean, classic lines for the
young professional. Fall trends include
chunky sweaters, coated denim,
leather details, and embroidered
pieces. For those questioning whether
printed denim will be on the shelves,
the answer is yes, but with less impact.
Look for subtle, neutral prints rather
than the brights we’ve seen in the past.
Always looking to try new and exciting
brands, Fall will also see envy carrying
SAM jackets and coats, Henry & Belle
denim, and Darling.
Envy likes to stay connected with its
customer base through Facebook.
“Like” them, and stay informed of new
arrivals, contests, sales, and celebrity
sightings of items currently available in
stores. And remember, each envy store
is unique—don’t miss an opportunity
to shop them all.

Have you gotten out of
your comfort zone lately? If
you’re an Atlantic Canadian fashion designer,
Jeanne Beker thinks you should. In fact, when
we recently we spoke with the iconic host of
Fashion Television, Beker was emphatic that
if budding Atlantic Canadian designers want to
compete on the world stage, they have to leave
the region—at least for awhile.
From the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) to the
New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD), Atlantic
Canada offers a wide variety of educational opportunities for
would-be designers. But Beker believes that when they’re done
learning the basics, they have to back up that education with
some in-depth experience and serious travel. “You need to get out
there, work with the best of the best, see how it’s done in the big
leagues,” says Beker. “Unless you’re just interested developing a
small cottage industry,” she adds.
And she means it. Although she would love to have her own
kids nearby, she would never encourage them to stay home. “If
they want to come home eventually, that’s great, but I think it’s
important to step outside and get that experience before they
come back,” she says.
According to Beker, it’s important for young designers to explore
the world and expose themselves to new and varied influences.
Without these new experiences, they would lack the inspiration
they need to develop a really great, unique product.
Although she hasn’t yet had the chance to really explore Atlantic
Canada’s design scene yet, she’s already caught a glimpse of
local talent. But Beker thinks some of it needs to become more
sophisticated in order to compete internationally. “It can become
very myopic and idyllic in communities like you have here,” she
says. “This is paradise, no question, but sometimes you’ve got to
sacrifice lifestyle for a certain amount of time, get out there, see
how it’s done in different arenas, and bring that knowledge back
home.”
Jeanne Beker’s Top 3 Tips for a Successful Design Career
Develop your brand: In today’s world, marketing yourself is all
about creating a personal brand. According to Beker, it’s critical
to get your unique voice heard. And when someone hears it, you
need to make sure it’s saying something different.
“Think outside the box a bit,” she says. “Don’t be afraid to colour
outside the lines.”
Go big or go home: Get out and meet people in the fashion
community. Travel and become inspired. Beker says that unless
you want a simple cottage industry, you can’t stay in a small
community. “If you’ve got a great product,” she says, “why not
put it out there?”
Partner up: Find a business partner to team up with. If you’re
a designer, you’re probably extremely creative. But that doesn’t
mean you have the skills or the time to create a thriving business.
Beker recommends teaming up with someone who understands
business, so that you can focus on being creative while they’re
busy building your client base.

The Fredericton Fashion Council was formed
just one year ago, with a goal to bring fashion
to the surface of a city full of talent. The FFC represents
something different for everyone. For most, it’s a place
to connect with like-minded people who have a common
interest in fashion.

There are two vice presidents: Paul Simmonds and Jaclyn
Wilson. Paul is the owner of Robert Simmonds Clothing
in Fredericton. He represents the business aspect of the
group while Jaclyn, a professional fitness competitor with
her own business, Jaclyn Wilson Couture, represents the
designer side.
President Ellen Woolaver is head of the Fashion Department
at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She has
a unique view into the world of emerging designers, seeing
their full potential and imagining ways to offer support. One
of FCCs biggest goals is to launch an incubator cooperative
for these designers so they can hopefully pursue their
career locally, rather than leave the city.
A great thing about this group is that you don’t have to be
a fashion designer or even be part of the fashion industry
to be a member. Simply having a passion for fashion is
enough!
Coco Chanel once said “Fashion is not something that exists
in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion
has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
This is what we ,as a council ,want to celebrate. Let’s bring
out the fashion that is all around us!
LINE Let’s start with a little bit
about yourself: Where are you
from, what is your educational
background, and when did you
develop an interest in fashion?
JW I grew up in Boiestown, New
Brunswick. Upon graduation from
high school I moved to Fredericton
and completed my Bachelor of
Science degree (major in biology),
a certificate in visual arts, and a
diploma in fashion design. Despite
having an interest in biology, I
always had a love of fashion as well.
Basically, it’s an interest in anything
to do with the human body. Once
finishing my science degree it felt
like the perfect time to try my hand
at fashion, and the rest is history, as
they say.
LINE What does fashion mean to
you?
JW Fashion means creating an
identity of personal expression. The
style of expression can change from
day to day, which is very interesting
and intriguing. Mood changes, so why
shouldn’t our external expression of
these emotions also change? And
even though trends will come and
go, how someone uses those trends
and incorporates them into their
own wardrobe is still unique and
expressive of their personal self.
LINE As VP of the Fredericton
Fashion Council (FFC), what did
you think when you first heard
about it?
JW When I heard about the concept
of the Fredericton Fashion Council,
I was immediately interested in
being involved. The long- and
short-term goals of the council are
things I felt were lacking from our
local fashion community. There
was a strong disconnect between
individuals, businesses, and groups.
We all were individually doing
great things, but even amongst
each other we were unaware of
what the other was involved in. The
council aims to bring cohesion and
Interview with Jaclyn Wilson, VP of the Fredericton Fashion Council

Introduction to Tracy Austin, one of the founding members of FFC and our
Webmaster.
Tracy Austin is a Fashion Designer with a focus on Ball
Jointed Dolls. She is located in Fredericton and sells at
Conventions and on line. BJD’s, originating in Japan,
have become an international phenomenon and grown in
popularity in Canada during the past 10 years. These dolls
are hand sculpted, each one being a work of art.
January 1st 2013, Tracy launched her label Steampetal.
She creates high quality corsets, waistcoats, tailored coats,
bustles, blouses and accessories for several major BJD
sizes.
Most recently, Tracy attended Doll North, a convention in
Toronto where she displayed and sold her designs. This was
a very successful venture for Tracy and she looks forward to
participating again in 2014.
communication—one voice—to our
local fashion industry. As they say,
there is strength in numbers, and
when operating as a single unit we
have a louder voice to help build
the fashion scene into something the
general public is educated about and
interested in. The council’s potential
value, not only to my personal
business but to others as well, is
limitless. I’m eager to see the council
grow and move towards its goals.
LINE You were involved in a
photo shoot with photographer
Jeff Crawford, for the FFC,
involving leaves, that is now the
FCC logo. How do you feel about
being a “face” for the FFC?
JW It is an honor to have the
photos I modeled in being used
for promotional material for the
Fredericton Fashion Council.
I believe in the council and its
potential to help the local fashion
scene, so I thought it was important
to volunteer my time to help get it
established. Modeling for the leaf
photos was one of the ways I felt I
could give my time…the concept of
the shoot was interesting and fun,
which made me want to be included.
LINE What are your hopes for the
FFC?
JW I hope we can quickly establish
[it] as a dependable and resourceful
group of individuals who are capable
of providing support for the local
fashion community. As our mission
statement says, we “aim to build a
network of support and education
while establishing a framework of
sustainability for present and future.”
This is precisely what my personal
hopes are for the council: to create a
fixed organization that has the ability
to help its members through various
avenues of support, and to secure
the local fashion scene as a valuable
and established part of the business
community.

19. Introducing FFC Vice President, Paul Simmonds
I love a great window. Well-styled
windows are the face of a store – a
glimpse into the experience waiting
behind the door. A great window tells
you there are people in that store you
can trust to put together an outfit.
I’ve never walked by the windows
of Robert Simmonds Clothing in
downtown Fredericton, without feeling
a little pull. I feel the pull inside when
I see a tailored suit complimented
by the perfect tie, or a summer dress
accessorized with a handbag and
wedges. The three part contemporary
clothing boutique on the corner of
King and York Street is a destination
shopping experience in the city.
Offering men’s wear, women’s wear,
and a new urban-denim section called
RSX-Robert Simmonds Exchange.
It’s the in-store experience that puts
Robert Simmonds Clothing a step
above the rest, and keeps their clientele
in the General Atlantic Area (GAA)
and beyond coming back. Quality
premium lifestyle and designer brands,
combined with exceptional customer
service are what owner Paul Simmonds
says give customers a unique shopping
experience.
The welcoming staff offers you a
glass of water or a cappuccino when
entering. On-site Master Tailor will
ensure a perfect fit. You can even book
a wardrobe consultation with an in-
house stylist to discuss your personal
style and receive advice on choosing
the best pieces to build your wardrobe.
After browsing through Hugo Boss,
Michael Kors, and Canali, head over to
the women’s wear section where you’ll
find Pink Tartan, Sarah Pacini, and
Citizens of Humanity dangling from
the racks. An array of accessories,
handbags, shoes and belts will also be
waiting to complete your look.
Paul maintains the importance of
giving back to tomorrow’s local fashion
community and the community in
general. As Vice President of the
Fredericton Fashion Council, he
believes in the Council’s vision of
promoting Fredericton fashion and
building a network of support.

ways to stand out in a crowd.
Vintage shopping might arguably
be the most difficult, as it is very
time-consuming, but it is also the
most rewarding. Successful vintage
shoppers feel an immense sense of
accomplishment when they find that
perfect little treasure.

Vintage stores also allow many shoppers the
opportunity to purchase high-end labels they might
not ordinarily be able to afford. And shoppers can
take comfort in the fact that vintage pieces have
stood the test of time; although the price points
may be lower, the quality is still very much there.
Requiring a strong brand-knowledge base as well
as an awareness of what’s currently “in style,”
vintage and thrift shopping takes hard work and
skill. But most importantly, successful vintage
shopping requires creativity.
Conventional shopping is arguably much easier,
given that shoppers can often buy an entire outfit
straight off of a mannequin and call it a day.
Patience is a virtue when it comes to finding
vintage items. You’ll need to sort through heaps of
clothing, and every piece has its own history and
story to tell, along with its own obstacles. Vintage
shops won’t always carry your size, so it requires a
little bit of imagination or minor tailoring to make
it work—but that’s all part of the fun.
As fashionistas become more aware of resource
shortages, many are turning to vintage. As
consumer-conscious shoppers, they want to do
their part in minimizing waste. Vintage clothing
isn’t going to solve all of our environmental issues,
but it is comforting to know that a purchase at a
vintage store can be positive both economically
and environmentally. In an industry that wastes
so much, it is refreshing for consumers to know
that they are doing their part (even if it’s small) in
minimizing the ecological footprint.
Low price points, great-quality, and one-of-a-kind
pieces—what’s not to love about vintage garb?
Whether borrowed, pre-loved, or inherited, vintage
is definitely the way to go.
