N.R.T Fashion's

"If I could dress anyone for a day it would be Marilyn Manson."

When it comes to fashion Nicole Rita Tomney doesn't have conventional in mind.

N.R.T. Fashion's is over two years old now and going strong, Tomney keeps herself busy doing all the designing and making of the clothes herself. And when that's just not enough to keep her going she has two jobs on the side.

Coming across as a whirlwind of excitement, N.R.T. Fashion's would be fine calling anywhere home, whether the line stays here or goes to some crazy city across the world.

Looking forward to going wherever fashion takes her, Tomney is infatuated with designing. "I just love the feeling of seeing amazing clothes and photos and love the fact that I get to show my stuff to other people."

Starting in the industry early as a model, sewing in high school helped her passion grow. Now with her own line a local hit, she appears to be on the right path.

While some Calgary designers prefer in keeping with the local ideals, Tomney would rather shake things up.

Designing apparel for women age 18 to 30 Tomney describes the line as fashion forward and for ladies "not afraid to wear something that's going to get peoples attention."

Dramatic changes from season to season show a boldness necessary to stay in such a turbulent industry.

Her collections are the best kind of unpredictable, stemming from a range of inspirations from icons to pictures. "Anything that catches my eye and gives me instant ideas for outfits."

N.R.T Fashion's will be showing in Toronto Fashion Week in April, for more information go to http://www.facebook.com/nrtfashions?sk=wall&closeTheater=1
