SYLVIA COHEN

Grey Sheep

Location

montreal / canada

Graduation year

1995

With degrees in Fine Arts, Fashion Design and Illustration and an extensive experience working in the Canadian fashion industry, the designer decided to launch her signature line. Part risk taker and part carefree spirit, where sharp and constructed meets soft and graceful to create a unique aesthetic. The use of eco fabrics, organic cotton, bamboo, tencel and silk enhance the quality, fit and beauty of the garments. Highly functional, yet effortlessly feminine, wardrobe items include playful tops and asymmetric dresses in body skimming jerseys and silks.
Cohen's design philosophy is to create garments that are not only fashionable but stimulate the senses, pieces that seduce the eye but also inspire through a commitment to sustainability.

Latest Collection

Sylvia Cohen Spring 2012

Finding the balance between fabric, form and advocating pure style while maintaining a sense of wellbeing is the delicate motivation behind the Sylvia Cohen Spring/Summer collection. With a mix of easy draping, asymmetry and the use of eco friendly fabrics the color palette is deliberately neutral, noble and classic. Clothes to feel free and comfortable in while creating a visual impact. Original designs that cater to the unique and inimitable woman, whose understated style "whispers" look at me.
