When Parisian brand Teenflo was launched in Canada more than 20 years ago, it came into a market when women were looking for work attire to set them apart in a competitive marketplace. Today, women looking to float from the office to evening with ease should look to the well-edited selections at Judith and Charles, the new Bayview Village store from Teenflo co-founders Judith Richardson and Charles Le Pierrès.
Down the hall from the newly opened Andy Thê-Anh shop, the store stocks such brands as Paris favourite I Love My T’s, Velvet and 7 for All Mankind in addition to its own line of sharply tailored pantsuits, skirts and shift dresses. They’re wardrobe essentials for busy women, and if anyone is in need of a wardrobe that works with her busy schedule, it’s Jeanne Beker, who attended the launch. “I’ve worn this dress two days in a row,” said Beker of her little black Teenflo number. “Teenflo has been one of my favourite brands for years,” she said. “The fabrications and the subtle detailing always makes me feel sexy yet still put together and keeps me coming back to them.”
Judith and Charles, Bayview Village, 2901 Bayview Ave., 416-229-0918, teenflo.com.
Fashion names that sound like the names of best friends always make me more interested in them–I don’t know why … Maybe because it seems more personal (like ‘oh ya, my designer friends, Judith and Charles’ lalalalalaaaaa). Pretentious, but it works.
