Rebecca Ford of New Canaan, CT is a Montreal-based fashion designer who received her formal higher education at Concordia University in Montreal, studying Art History. Immersing herself in art history gave her a broad perspective and appreciation of the theories and methodologies used throughout the discipline and an edge when working as a designer. Never formally trained in fashion design, this lack of convention gave her the freedom to be truly unique and a trendsetter. Delving into the world of art brought an appreciation of culture, form, and medium, and her work in design allowed her to marry the two disciplines.
Ford's collections are inspired by historical periods, global cultures, nature, and everyday life. Her designs reflect an understanding that fashion is about more than just clothes; it is about telling stories, evoking emotion, and making people feel beautiful. Each collection tells its own story through color palette, fabric choice, silhouette, and overall aesthetic.
