MANDY of Mandala Design!
Mandy is one of our alumni designers at Fresh Collective, she has a dedicated following that each season visit all three locations to tear her latest items of the racks! For more on this interview please visit our blog.
3 words to describe the MANDALA woman? Independent, Nostalgic, Stylish
What is your favourite season, for designing? I personally love fall’s comfy cozy style, boots, tights, sweaters… But I think I love designing spring because of the fun colours, easy dresses and light fabrics.
Are you your number one customer? Yes, absolutely!
For the winter holidays, which one of your dresses would you recommend and why? There are two items that are perfect for the holidays! A yet to be released, skirt made from a beautiful boiled wool with a lace overlay and the Missoni crochet dress. Both would be great to wear to a family dinner or work holiday party!
* I have seen the boiled lace overlay skirt! Absolutely beautiful!!!
If you could have ONE celebrity wear one of your outfits, who would it be? and Why? Can’t pick just one! Chloe Sevigny, Zooey Deschanel, Molly Ringwald, they all have a vintage eccentricity to their style while still looking current and really put together
* Mandy’s first answer was “Clint Eastwood”, but she said she would like to wear one of her dresses in front of him!!
Mandala Design is available each season at Fresh Collective Kensington, Roncesvalles and Queen st. You can catch Mandy in the Queen street location most Mondays working the floor, and mingling with her customers! For more information please visit:
