3 am poems – Melissa Oswald
3 am poems is a recently launched handmade clothing line, designed and created by Melissa Oswald. Every garment is produced locally, so the line remains sweat-shop free, and the majority of the materials are obtained from Canadian textile companies. Incorporated into the line are many dresses and tops with a universally flattering cut, something that appeals to all female consumers. The pieces are also designed to be versatile: easily transitional from day to night, like “The Little Red Dress”, wearable on many occasions like “The Tie Shirt”, and/or convertable from chic and classy, to fun and quirky, like “The Smart Shorts”. 3 am poems combines classy style with fun, interesting details to create garments that are very familiar, but still a bit different from what you might find at the local shopping centre. The line is quickly growing, and in addition to being sold through etsy.com (www.3ampoems.etsy.com), pieces from the line will be available shortly at “The Fashion District” on 555 Queen St. West, in downtown Toronto. 3 am poems: Chic. Local. Handmade.
