Name: Chris Gelinas
Label: CG
Years designing: Nine years working in the industry.
How many seasons showing: Spring 2015 will be my third season showing.
Inspiration for Spring 2015: Breaking away from monotony.
What’s the biggest challenge for new designers these days? Visibility.
Who would you love to have at your show/presentation? Both my grandmothers, since they were my first impression of style and that inspires a lot for me.
Dream collaboration: I am actually having one this season with Pia Wüstenberg, an industrial artist I have admired for years. It would be cool to collaborate with Bec Brittain. I’m in love with her lighting design. I love the idea of working with industrial designers, their process is similar and so different from fashion, it’s intriguing.
