If you have the slightest interest in fashion and reside in Toronto, chances are that you have heard of [or are obsessed with] the brand Chloé Comme Parris. Unless you live under a rock of course. Sister duo, Chloé and Parris Gordon, are the brains behind this downtown grunge clothing line, that was talked about for days before it’s most recent show at Toronto Fashion Week. Pairing patterned sheer thigh-high tights with oversized knits and velvet dresses made them an instant crowd favourite at the shows. Throw in a couple of leather pieces and we were all dying to get our hands on a piece [or ten].
Although the clothing has been nothing but a hit, the name ‘Chloé Comme Parris’ just wasn’t doing it for the two girls. As they begin to prepare for international growth, the Chloé and Parris wanted to change the brand’s name to focus more on their customers, and less on themselves. Enter, Beaufille. This new name loosely translates to, 'handsome girl’ [Fashion Magazine]. I couldn’t think of a more perfect fit for this androgynous clothing line.
Congrats on the name change ladies. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next! Xo
