With Dahlia Drive, there’s a collision of art and fashion, both in the
pieces themselves (walking art, anyone?) and in the artfulness
employed to produce images of the pieces. Inspired by everything
from da Vinci to nature to the body of a woman, Dahlia Drive
(www.dahliadrive.com) designer Wendy Van Riesen puts so much
of herself into her designs. Her passion for muted but striking hues
is immediately apparent but her attention to individuality is what
is truly outstanding about this Vancouver artiste. There is no way
the wearer of Dahlia Drive could fade into the background; these
upcycled pieces are about being noticed.
