The Tony Chestnut Spring/Summer 2014 collection has been designed by Canadian fashionista Jill Sawatzky. Central to Sawatzky's approach to apparel is the formation of clothing that allows shoppers to express themselves, enabling them to feel good while going about their daily activities.
Sawatzky is the only one who produces these lines, and expressly so. This personal sense of pride is well-deserved as her pieces are both classic and contemporary, seen in sleek, clean cuts and funky additions such as quilted patterns and tiny polka dots.
Recycling procedures are also central to the Tony Chestnut label. Retro jackets are made of faux leather materials sourced from the 1970s, bringing a bit of the decade into the future in a responsible manner.
