Studio Fresh

Love, Love, Love their clothing. Quirky, innovative designs, great prices too. Nice clearance rack section. There are no refunds, just exchanges after 14 days. But I don’t mind. I can’t see myself wanting to return anything I’ve gotten. Their clothing really seems to suit my body type. My pocket book is happy too. LOL. Lisa was the lady helping me & she was so totally friendly & cool. Hubby came in afterwards & got to sit in a chair & read while waiting for me. I’m coming back for more later!

My personal favourite modern Toronto women’s clothing designer, hands down. Everything in this local fashion forward shop is hand sewn, creatively and strikingly designed and in fabrics and colours and combinations thereof that never cease to jump off the rack at me. Fresh Collective clothing is distinctive and ever so slightly futuristic, but in a wearable way — you know it when you see it. I can personally tell you, it feels as great as it looks. I have items of clothing I bought there that I continue to wear after 3 and 4 seasons. I love the skirts and tops in particular. I was so saddened to see that there had been a fire there in the summer, but happy to see them at the OOAK show and also that Fresh Collective on Queen offers Studio Fresh clothing.

I gotta be honest, the sign out front kind of turned me off, so until quite recently, I’ve passed this place by. Last weekend, we decided to have a look. This shop is pretty neat! Heads up, gentlemen; this is strictly for the ladies.
The clothing is locally made. The dominant style to me seemed to be an interesting blend of post-​raver with a touch of goth… lots of phat pants, lots of black, dark grays, and reds. Pretty much the opposite of what I thought I’d find judging by that sign. The prices were fairly reasonable for locally made stuff too.
The woman behind the counter was very friendly and chatted away to us. I don’t know if I could pull off these styles now, but I think this place is totally worth checking out.
