Nicole Bridger
The buzzword is “eco-fashion” these days and you might be asking yourself, what on earth is eco-fashion anyway. Basically it is stylized clothing that uses environmentally sensitive fabrics and responsible production techniques. Canadian designer Nicole Bridger believes in taking care of the earth and its people by using socially conscious fabrics that are from natural and renewable resources. She spreads the word of love through her affirmation labels ‘I am love’ in each piece of clothing.
Nicole Bridger was born and raised in Vancouver, BC. She obtained her BAA in fashion design from Ryerson University in Toronto ON. She then went to London, UK to intern at Vivienne Westwood where she learned the art of sculpting fabric and returned with an understanding of doing more than just making clothes. Bridger came back to Vancouver looking to learn some of the business side of things and paired up with the owner of Lululemon Athletica to co-create Oqoqo, a casual eco clothing line. She was then ready to put her design and business sides together to create her own label of socially conscious contemporary women’s wear, Nicole Bridger.
