Just purchased this fantastic green dress by Canadian designer, Valerie Dumaine. Valerie's lines are entirely made in Canada, which I fully support and the quality is impeccable. Get yours online or at Frock in Toronto.


BIO: Valerie Dumaine has been active in the Montreal fashion scene for over eleven years.  Between 1997 and 2002, she has been an illustrator, patternmaker and designer for various local companies. A year after graduating from Lasalle College, she departed Montreal briefly in 1998 for London, where she completed an internship with designer Gaile McConaghie. Upon completion of her Certificate in German at UQAM in 2002, Valerie Dumaine was once again Europe-bound; this time, her focus was Berlin.  She reveled in the German fashion scene and culture, acquiring a firm and definitive direction.  This experience would become a major turning point in her career. After returning to Montreal, she decided to work on her own line and in Spring 2004 Valerie Dumaine was finally born!
Valerie Dumaine's line projects an image of confidence, with clean and elegant lines, embellished by a careful finished touch.  Inspired by the past, the designer is a master when it comes to mix and match styles, creating refined and bold garments.
Her Collections are entirely made in Canada and are now available in more than 50 stores across Canada, US and Lebanon. http://www.valeriedumaine.com
