Brand Designer: Adrienne Butikofer Adrienne Butikofer's career aspirations were apparent from an early age in a city not typically known for giving rise to fashion designers. By nine years of age, growing up in Winnipeg Butikofer was inseparable from her sewing machine. Two decades later not much has changed for the Fanshawe graduate.The Butikofer label was established in 2007 and has been well received by both the Canadian fashion industry and media alike. Having received awards as the TFI [Toronto Fashion Incubator] New Label's Competition Finalist and NOW Magazine Designer Grand Prize Winner Butikofer has become somewhat of a media darling. She has since then been featured in The Toronto Star, National Post, LouLou, Gloss magazine, Eye Weekly, NOW, the Metro, Canadian Teen Girl, Toronto Street Fashion, Rags and Mags, blog TO, Muted magazine and the Underground. The Butikofer girl covets high fashion. She has a unique, personal brand and her style truly reflects this. The Butikofer look is un-precious yet flattering; staple pieces with a twist that transition seamlessly from season to season and with the other pieces in ones closet. Butikofer expertly blends seemingly opposite aesthetics; simple and complex, pretty and rugged, vintage and modern, old technology and new eco-fabrics to produce a wearable and highly unique fashion line. |
