Not that Smythe! You're not wrong to have the MVP award (the Conn Smythe trophy) on your mind at this time of year during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Conn Smythe is a Canadian hero, much like designers Andrea Lenczner and Christie Smythe. Perhaps, different kinds of heroes.... They are the kind of fashion heroes that make your outfit worries disappear when you put on one of Smythe's perfectly tailored jackets. Conn Smythe does happen to be Christie's grandfather. Andrea and Christie decided to use the name- "just because it kind of suited their idea to design one thing really well". This Canadian duo might do it better than anybody and that makes them MVP of the boyfriend blazer, trenches and the most perfect double breasted schoolboy blazer you've ever seen. http://www.smythelesvestes.com/
Look for our upcoming story on In Fashion (Sundays at 5pm ET on CTV) where we caught up with the designers and spent an afternoon at Canopy Blue boutique (http://www.canopyblue.ca/) where owners Nicole Bitove and Lisa Gnat gave us a tour of their impressive selections of Smythe jackets.
