Last January, we started hearing about the much-anticipated Alice in Wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton that is set to come out in March 2010. But March is so far away and fall fashion is just around the corner. Not to mention, we spotted a different kind of wonderland in town – Allison Wonderland.

The mastermind behind this Vancouver clothing label, Allison Smith, loves fine wine, food, and looking fabulous. “Our need for lovely things to wear everyday keeps me daydreaming,” Allison admits!

“As for the inspiration, it was nothing in particular and everything in general,” exclaims Allison. Take La Darling Dress ($178) with its patterned purple print, created out of a vintage 1970’s textile. “That was a case of the fabric inspiring the design.”

And with winter in tow, Le Pays Bomber ($248) and L’hiver Coat ($298) are essential! Find stores across Canada at www.allisonwonderland.ca .
