A little bit about me & my work:
Corinne Monique Long is a fashion designer and illustrator. She has been sketching and sewing since she was a little girl. At an early age, Corinne studied Fine Art under the prestigious Canadian artist, Gail Adams, and began undertaking commissions for her artwork in various mediums soon after. Corinne attended the University of Alberta, graduating in 2009 with a BSc. degree in Human Ecology with a Major in Textiles and Clothing and a Minor in Design and Product Development. In her graduating year, Corinne organized and produced the Faculty Fashion Show, in collaboration with Edmonton Fashion Week. During her studies, Corinne traveled to Paris, France, and attended the Paris American Academy. There she trained intensively, learning the haute couture techniques of Nina Ricci, draping methods of Madame Gres, millinery skills of Jean Paul Gaultier, and the handbag and accessory craft of Anne Valerie Hash, as well as Japanese Shibori dyeing techniques. During her stay in Paris, she also worked as a backstage assistant and dresser for Elie Saab, during his Fall 2008 Haute Couture Collection runway show. In 2009, Corinne was chosen from 116 Canada-wide entries as one of 25 Télio Design Competition finalists and was featured during Montreal Fashion Week, as well as in the press. That same year, Corinne was awarded the Dr. Elizabeth Feniak Award for Excellence in Writing for her essay entitled ‘The Little Black Dress,’ published in the Journal of the Home Economics Institute of Audtralia, Vol. 17, No. 2, 2010. In 2010, Corinne competed as a finalist in the Nuit Blanche Art of Fashion Design Competition, and was featured in various media including The Globe and Mail. Corinne has worked as a design and production assistant for many Canadian designers, including Greta Constantine, House of Spy, Jade Kinrade, Penicullus Bellum, Sofiss Apparel, Stefanie Bezaire, and Wildhagen Hats. Corinne has gained an excellent appreciation of colour, pattern, texture, materials, construction, and current trends. Corinne currently freelances in illustration and design. Corinne recently debuted her eponymous fashion label, Corinne Monique, an innovative, luxurious line for the modern woman, during New York Fashion Week through Rogues Gallery Presents Emerging Designer Fashion Showcase and Tobago Fashion Weekend.
Corinne draws design and illustration inspiration from her lifelong passions: art, music, photography, dance, film, literature, travel, and nature. Corinne designs for the strong, confident woman, choosing clean, feminine lines to enhance her form. Her current Fall/Winter 2013 womenswear collection, ‘The Year of the Serpent’, focuses on a sense of wanderlust surrounding the exoticism of the Far East and is a modern take on the Orientalism of bygone eras for the global warrior-empress of the future. The decadent and dramatic yet controlled collection examines the symbolism of the poisonous serpent, a powerful mythological creature familiar to all cultures, by conjuring up folkloric images, opulent finishes, seductive colours, and sensual textures, such as brocades, silks, wools, velvet, and lace in crimson, persimmon, ruby, fuchsia, ultramarine, midnight, cobalt, emerald, malachite, onyx, and gold. Cloaked in mystery and majesty and a hint of danger, each gilded piece combines the techniques of haute couture methods with ready-to-wear ease. The combined effect is an escape into a dreamlike, narcotic state of enlightenment.
