It’s finally feeling like summer in Alberta, so when I saw this lovely halter top from Tangente (pronounced like tangent, but in true Canadian style, Cathy chose to include a little french flair with the added “e”!)  I definitely wanted to check out more of this designer’s collection!

Love the bold graphic

Cathy now lives in Ottawa but grew up in New Brunswick. She creates her own patterns and sews each unique piece herself, often including vintage fabric and scarves. I enjoyed browsing through her Spring/Summer 2010 collection on Etsy, which she also has available in a few independent boutiques.

That halter top above is really versatile – it comes with one of her vintage scarves, but you could switch it out for another of your own, or use a ribbon or fabric braid for a different look altogether. Very fun.

Here are a few more of my favourites from Tangente:

Love the gather on the hip!

Such a stylish twist on the standard cardigan

You can see more of Cathy’s designs and keep up with her at her blog and on Facebook.

Cheers,
