Maison Bio: In 2000, Toronto based designer Wendy Wong traded test tubes, theorems and her lab coat to realize her fashion design ambition. Her first collection was only eight pieces, but interest and sales soon started to increase quickly. Wendy's bold use of colour and prints make for a sweet, playful, quickly line. The edgy feminine shapes have garnered this brand a loyal following among hip young women everywhere. In 2010, Wendy introduced a new label, Maison by House of Spy Maison, reflecting a more sophisticated direction for the collection.
