The most beautiful dress I’ve ever made, named after the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known, The Marta Dress featuring salvaged hand-stitched embroidery from all around the world, is designed and sewn in honour of my dear sweet mom. Born in Hungary just before the Revolution of 1956 and given a Spanish name by her parents who led her by moonlight to safety in Austria as a little girl, my mom and the endless legacy of resilience, love and folk art flowing through her veins has taught me everything I could ever need to know about art, life and motherhood and this special namesake dress encompasses it all.
Made With Love In Toronto Since 2003.
