flourishing designer: amanda lew kee

A snippet of Amanda's Spring 2011 collection

I've been hearing about this young Torontonian designer on entertainment and fashion news programs for a few weeks now, and after checking out her beautifully constructed website, as well as her collection, I can see what all the buzz is about.

She graduated from Ryerson University just last year, and since then, her opportunity and success has been well-deserved and endless. She's shown her collection in such places as the university, Holt Renfrew, debuted in the Great Hall in Toronto, and accessorized her collection with infamous blue lips at Toronto's LG Fashion Week. She has also been featured in famed publications such as Flare, Nylon, and the Toronto Star. Some celebrities she has worked with are Shenae Grimes and Keri Hilson.

Amanda has entered the Canadian fashion world strong, and I'm sure in time, her name is one who will be on every fashion insider's lips. Her fall collection offered sharp shoulders, asymmetrical cuts, and a raw and edgy array of black jackets, tops, and dresses. Fast forward to her spring collection, an ultra feminine, neutral paletted series of straight cut dresses in varying lengths, top and skirt combos, and funky leggings. She also does accessories.
