Homegrown designers collaborat­e on spring’s It blazer.

-

Call it a match made in fashion heaven: Smythe’s Andrea Lenczner and Christie Smythe (a.k.a. the Canadian masters of oh-so-covetable outerwear) teamed up with on-the-rise Toronto-based talents Chloé and Parris Gordon of Beaufille to create one pretty perfect blazer for spring/summer 2015. For their first collab, the foursome reimagined Smythe’s classic Smoking Jacket in a custom floral jacquard inspired by vintage chinoiseri­e brocade ($695, at Holt Renfrew, holtrenfre­w.com). We can only hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. (Pants next, please?) ■
