Evan and Dean are not the names of the design duo behind this fresh 3 year old Vancouver based label. Raymond Boutet & Lyle Reimer named the line after two of their nephews. We had the pleasure of interviewing them backstage before the show to find out a little bit about their Spring 2009 collection.

Their collection, "Future Folk" combines high-tech with folk -craft to give the future a softer feel. The future doesn't have to be cold and hard, they explained. They wanted to give it warmth and femininity. They certainly achieved that.

Cutout patterns and applique were juxtaposed with arm and ankle cuffs and a few Wonder Woman-esque head pieces. Tangerine and crisp white are certainly colours to watch for next spring. I loved the evening dresses and want to know where I can get my hands on those awesome cuffs!


Evan & Dean has appeared in Women's Wear Daily, Flare, FASHION, Sportswear International, NUVO, Hello! Canada and Zink, among other major Canadian and American publications. They are certainly ones to watch for and we look forward to their continued success!
