There are lots of American companies moving into the retail space in Canada. It’s nice to see home-grown companies pushing their own expansions. Montreal based Judith & Charles is opening their first 1700 sq ft flagship store at First Canadian Place (my old work stomping grounds) opening in September. Designers Judith Richardson and Charles Le Pierrès started the brand in 2008. They aren’t newbies in this business and before Judith & Charles they were the exclusive North America licensees for the Parisian brand Teenflo. Judith & Charles has 10 retail locations in Canada and a store in New York City.

The fall collection uses leather, suede, and fur details and has influences from 50s silhouettes. The colour palette is neutral but incorporates trends like teal and oxblood. You can see the entire Judith & Charles fall 2012 collection on their website. I’ve included my favourite looks here. Fall/Holiday 2012 is also up if you are looking ahead.
