MEET THE DESIGNERS : WITCHING HOUR – SOUK

The world has transformed this past year, and so has Eliza.

This collection breaks from the past. Darker and stronger, it conveys a quiet confidence. Beautifully crafted dresses in moody, ethereal jacquards, surreal plays on everyday essentials, and a luxurious, feminine take on athletic wear, Eliza’s Autumn/Winter 21/22 collection “Witching Hour” will delight your taste for the strange and refined.  

Come and meet Eliza Faulkner and her special guest : HotelMotel and Ora-c at SOUK HABITAT at PVM.

ELIZA FAULKNER

With a focus on clean lines and classic silhouettes, Eliza Faulkner is known for her ultra-feminine dresses and bold use of colour and texture. Eliza studied fashion design and marketing at Central St. Martin’s College of Art & Design. During her studies, she worked in the studios of Erdem, Roland Mouret, Zandra Rhodes, and Roksanda Illincic. After returning to the West Coast of Canada in 2011, Eliza began working on a small capsule collection of linen dresses that launched Eliza Faulkner Designs in the spring of 2012. Now based in Montreal, Eliza Faulkner produces a high-quality item that is made to last.

HOTELMOTEL
