PARRIS: Our relationship makes work-
ing together easier because we have the
same quality standards, background and
upbringing. It’s great to have a partner
who is also family.OUR CANADIAN DESIGN
PHILOSOPHY
Parris: As designers, we always try to
create pieces that make people dream a
little, but there’s an essential practicality
to Canadian design.
Chloé: As Canadians, we’re more
conservative and practical. When you
go outside of Canada to a fashion capital,
you see people wearing really crazy
things. That’s not to say we don’t love to
make a piece or two that’s a bit out there,but being Canadian and designing in
Canada , we do have an underlying, even
subconscious, thread of practicality.THE NORDSTROM ADVANTAGE
Chloé: It’s a dream to see our work
in Nordstrom. Inclusivity is a really
big part of Nordstrom’s business
and I think that’s an amazing thing
to be a part of. It’s great that a company
that sells high fashion is also pushing
for inclusiv it y.
Parris: And Nordstrom, as a retailer,
supports so many sizes. They order such
a wide size range from us, which I think
is really important. They definitely
listen to customer feedback a lot and
stay very current.OUR STYLE ETHOS
Chloé: “Beaufille” loosely translates to
handsome girl. It explores the contrast
between masculine and feminine and
also describes the girl we’re designing for.
Parris: We’re always trying to
design under that idea—the ethos of
bringing together masculine and
feminine, hard and soft. We’re thinking
of that in every piece.
ON BEING SISTERS
Chloé: We have an ingrained sense of
trust in one another. Parris will never
get up and walk away from a discussion.
We’re very different people, but we
balance each other out, and it makes us
well-rounded as a design team.
