Queen Street has long been hailed as the Fashion District in Toronto - and Hush Von Osafo is a testament to that claim.
It was a romper in the display window that lured me into the store. It was a business casual romper with the top portion resembling a vest. It was paired with a sleeveless watermelon-coloured modal top and it was sharp! The romper was a greyish colour.
Another pair of grayish pants caught my eye. It was made of a velvety smooth fabric but was light as a feather. I ended up purchasing all 3 items.
Doctor Dopey came across 2 shirts that resembled a linen-like texture. Both were military style shirts though one was casual while the other was dressier.
The tab came to $570 - but considering we got it tailored, and considering the high quality fabric Osafo uses - and considering the uniqueness of his pieces - I thought it was money well-spent! I would rather blow $570 supporting a local designer than at Holt Renfrew.
Osafo, the designer/owner is really down to earth. We bartered and got the price knocked down from the original and he even tailored our clothes for us free of charge. He only makes 14 of every item in stock.
Stephen definitely has an eye for style as all his pieces are crafted with care. He uses only the best fabrics and knows how to make fitted clothes. I will definitely be back!
