60 years of Chic

AND A JOSEPH RIBKOFF TRUNK SHOW

Renowned Canadian designer Joseph Ribkoff ’s signature has been gracing labels of iconic women’s fashion ever since he began his business in 1957.

“I went into business when I was just 21,” laughs Joseph Ribkoff. “I must have had horseshoes around me, because I did everything right.”

Don’t let his humility and casual attire fool you. The man’s understanding of what women want would put Nick Marshall, played by Mel Gibson in the movie What Women Want, to shame.

“It all began with Marilyn,” says Ribkoff. “Is there anything more to say? Marilyn Monroe.” Through the years, women’s fashion may have changed dramatically, but each season, Joseph Ribkoff produced collections of chic and elegant interpretations of femininity inspired by a woman’s curve.

“Times change, but the women we design for remained the same,” said Joseph. “We design for a state of mind — for a woman that feels young.”

Classic, timeless and luxurious are the words customers use to describe Joseph Ribkoff ’s statement pieces in formal dresses and separates for special occasions to business wear, day wear and travel-friendly resort and cruise wear.
