Lubica - Slovakian born designer based in Jamaica - brought some fresh air with her creative and unique designs. Bright colours, geometric patterns, and interesting cut, made her collection stand out from the crowd. In my opinion, that is exactly what Canadian fashion needs - fresh, bold ideas and more imagination.

To find out more about the designer, please visit her official website: Lubica.
