The Inspiration.
As a young female urbanite inundated with the busy-ness of everyday life, the opportunity to travel to a place remote and mysterious is rare. Designer Annabel Fleming’s escape to Sable Island, a narrow crescent-shaped sandbar located 300 kilometers southeast of Halifax in the Atlantic Ocean was both transformational and inspirational. The raw ethereal beauty and the feral romanticism of this island both captured Annabel and inspired the collection. This is her memory…
Ultimately, it is the spirits of Jane and Sable Island that have come to inform and inspire the collection. Jane’s confidence, her unique spirit, and her intelligence are fused with the strength, curiosity and gentleness of the wild ponies to reflect both the clothing and the imagined clientele.
