Kirsten Ley is a Canadian couture designer who recently moved her line to Paris. In just 12 months, she has participated in seven international shows, displaying three collections.
Last week, I had the opportunity to interview Ley at New York Fashion Week, and she talked to me about her latest venture.
“I moved to Paris with my labels three and a half months ago,” she said. “… It’s kind of been this rebirth of my brand, and so I (titled) this collection ‘Naissance,’ which means birth in French.”
When asked about the diversity of models displayed in her line, Ley said:
“I find that my brand has a lot of dichotomy, and I love using a wide color palette. I love using models of every background and ethnicity and race and it just really speaks to me because I love having everyone a part of this.”
