Wallo's STAND-UP Collection

 

Wallo's Spring - Summer STAND-UP Collection was launched in the summer  at Ogilvy Montréal’s Cabinet Éphémère and showcased at the Montreal Fashion and Design Festival in the Cabinet Éphémère's collective fashion show.
 
Wearable Art on Silk
Inspired by the women who will wear them, Marie-Andrée Wallot creates unique pieces by drawing, hand painting and digitally refining patterns to be printed on stretch silk charmeuse of the highest quality. Her chic and sleek designs and colourful prints exude intelligence, happiness and empowerment.
 
Expertly crafted, high-end fashion
Wallo’s designs, thanks to modern and balanced cuts, are the perfect canvas for Marie-Andrée Wallot’s pictorial works of art. The collection includes beautiful silk scarves, flowy tops, edgy pants and leggings, airy and elegant dresses, easy tunics and a boho-inspired, breezy maxi dress. Making silk clothing requires a particular expertise, from design to sewing. Beauty, comfort and the elegance of high-end craftsmanship – that is what Wallo strives to offer.
 
Silk – A choice for elegance
Wallo’s silk is made from 90% charmeuse silk and 10% Lycra, the result being a material that is tremendously soft, resistant and comfortable. Marie-Andrée Wallot explains: “The charmeuse silk that we use offers an amazing depth of color. Because it is timeless, to me, silk symbolises the rich and everlasting nature of human relationships. It is soft, light, fresh and silky on the skin – it is a joy to wear. It fluidly follows the body’s movements and drapes joyfully and gracefully.”
 
A world of vibrant colors
Through Wallo’s paintings, we discover the faces of strong and kind women, rich textures and endless shades of petal pink, fuchsia and purple dancing with azure blue, clay white and neutral tones. Color takes central stage on the lively, eclectic designs inspired by their creator, a woman who has spent her whole life in pursuit of art and beauty in all its forms.
