Allison Smith is a clothing designer who started her first
line, Allison Wonderland, in 1998. The clothing is made for the type of girl
who appreciates a charming and flexible style, one that can be suitable to go
to work in and then out for a night around town with your girlfriends.
“All kinds of
women wear the clothes and it seems to be all ages too. She loves that her
clothes aren’t mass-produced and wants unique pieces” said Smith, according to Plaid Magazine, regarding the type of girl who would purchase her designs.
Smith graduated from the Fashion Design & Technology
program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and her designs are inspired by a
mix of Alice in Wonderland and 1970’s retro. The Allison Wonderland fall 2012
collection was released late last month, and features cotton prints and
collared dresses, tunics, blouses, blazers, sweaters and skirts.
The Vancouver designer now has her line in multiple stores,
stretching from America to Nova Scotia. She also has a second women’s fashion
line, called Pillar, which began in 2011 and uses only eco-friendly fabrics. The
fabrics are made from organic cottons and silks, as well as recycled and
natural fibers from British Columbia.
You can purchase and browse the collections at the Allison Wonderland online store.
