La Fee Verte, Montelle & Blush at CURVE.

This is why I can not resist telling you about the Canadian dominance at the Curve Lingerie shows that recently wrapped up in Las Vegas and New York.  Attending for all six days, it was, for me, a marathon event.  A combination of brands fundamental to any Intimate’s assortment, as well as a laboratory for new design talent, Curve showcases lines from all over the world.  But, if I had to say which country stood on the podium as a standout group of emerging labels, well, I would proclaim “O Canada”.  Standing in gold medal position was: Montelle Intimates; French inspired foundations, Blush Lingerie; sexy, beautifully merchandised daywear, and La Fee Verte; exquisite 19 mm silk lingerie, trimmed in leavers laces.  Each of these brands presents a unique and focused identity, providing real value within their expertise.  Together this Canadian trio answers the age old retail credo of “good, better and best” in a fashion assortment.
