Twigg&hottie is Inspired by the Elements

Air, earth, water and fire…Vancouver’s climate has permeated into the design of the Twigg&hottie label. But for spring 2007 the shades of rainstorm grey and lush rainforest greens have been joined by the burnt reds and desert sands of Africa.

Designer Glencora Twigg made a life changing trip to the continent in the spring 2006 and discovered a new vision of how to dress for the summer sunshine. The collection is flowing and natural. The Capetown Dress has rolled edges and wrap detail, the layered and biased cut Fibonacci skirt is paired with a woven linen blazer, the Issey pant is beach perfect with a wide cut leg and oversized pockets, and the Jaeger Corset is cool and flattering with a wide strap and gathered bust line. A respect for the rich landscapes of British Columbia and Africa made Glencora continue to design with sustainable materials such as soy, bamboo, wild silk and linen.

“I simply wanted to let the person shine through,” says Glencora. “So my spring 2007 collection is meant for 25-45 year old women who need great day to night pieces that stand out but aren’t overbearing,”

The 10 piece Twigg&hottie collection is fashion forward with a classic edge and will remain in your closet forever. These are the pieces that are exciting to wear when new
but when you return to them for their effortless style, their forward looking aesthetic
will have you getting compliments five years down the line.

Twigg&hottie ranges in price from $78 to $225 and is available in Vancouver at Twigg&hottie (3671 Main St.), in Squamish, BC at Agnes Jean and in Saskatoon at Durands. For more information please visit www.twiggandhottie.com.
