Stacy Laviolette

Star Sign Libra

Likes trees, brutalist architecture with trees incorporated

Dislikes insufficient sunglasses, the phone

Stacy bought her first Vogue magazine at age 11. Three years later, and with the help of her high school counselor, she landed her first job in a small boutique. Her newly found income led her to charity shops where she began salvaging tossed aside couture and creating her own looks. The vintage she didn’t keep or restyle for herself she sold to the rich kids at school.

Stacy is known as a creative powerhouse with strong business acumen. In 1998, she developed an international apparel company and split her time between New York, Los Angeles and London. Her highly sought-after vintage collections have been shown with Los Angeles' Caskey & Lees and the exclusive New York Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show. Her street wear brand, edle, landed in high end boutiques in eclectic districts such as Tokyo's Shibuya-Ku, Chicago's Wicker Park, Los Angeles' Melrose Avenue, Portland's Pearl District and New York's SoHo. Press coverage includes Sportswear International Spring/Summer 2007, Portland Picks Fall/Winter 2006, REALM Winter 2001 and CBC Venture Winter 2001.

Born in Vancouver, she holds a B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 20th c. History, with emphasis on fashion and design during times of war. She also holds Business Development Certification from the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

Stacy, who currently lives in a 620 sq ft apartment with her husband and two cats in Vancouver’s West End, says, ‘I live and work for fashion and design, but when I need to relax I pull out my vintage lps, drink some bubbly and proceed with the living room dance party.'
