Tien Le Diversity

After playing a round of golf with his 2008 fall collection, Le returns to evening wear for spring (thank-you!). The collection is dynamic and eclectic, each piece revolving in its own universe of style. Fabrics run the gamut from Chiri (japanese paper) inspired printed silk, to galactic chiffon, and a Rajasthani riot of colour and gold. Bet your bottom dollar that Le was involved in the design of each unique piece of hand-painted fabric. As if the gowns themselves are not enough, the artist answers our prayers with a dynamic line of gorgeous handbags! Le’s prolific virtuosity is inspiring, and clients from around the globe fly to Toronto to visit his downtown studio for a chance to own a piece from this red carpet designer. LZ
