Western Canadian fashion is often overshadowed by the more established and heralded scenes of the east. Canadian design duo Raymond Boutet & Lyle Reimer have begun to carve out a strong niche not just in the west of Canada, but in all of fashion with the elegant, yet powerful woman’s label Evan & Dean.

Creating a moody and elegant collection full of architectural and polished pieces that highlight a woman’s natural form, Evan & Dean draws the current collection from a warrior’s palate. Black, navy and bronze is punctuated by the femininity of ochre and rose-quartz. Pieces are accentuated with pleated and decorative trims creating the innovative details that Evan & Dean has become known for in its seven year run.

The fashion world is also taking notice. Although the company is based in British Columbia, it has found an attentive audience globally. With a keen sense of what inspires designs that inspire women, Evan & Dean seem comfortable creating fashion worth fighting for.
