Amber Watkins

 ..Watkins recently burst onto the Ottawa fashion scene as a rather impressive swimwear designer. Her debut collection at the S/S 2012 Ottawa Fashion Week last fall was extremely well received. Now Watkins is not only working on her next collection but an interest and passion behind the scenes of the editorial world has led her into our Assistant Editor position at PRESS The Fashion. As a fashion designer, Watkins offers a fresh perspective to the team.







Favourite designer?: 
Diane von Furstenberg.  She is just such an amazing role model for the kind of woman I want to be, not just as a designer.  She epitomizes class and femininity, and she has been able to successfully balance being a successful business owner with also being a great mother and friend. 

Favourite musician/band?: 
No Doubt, hands down.  I saw them live a few years ago and shocked the person with whom I had gone with my manic levels of excitement.  I know every single word of every one of their songs.

One thing you can't live without?: 
I don’t know if I can choose just one!  Sadly, I can’t make it through anything without coffee, so I guess that might have to be my default answer.  Nonfat lattes with cinnamon, preferably with a good conversation, make for a very simple happiness formula!

Amber Watkins Swim S/S 2012

Winter is here and it sure is getting cold out!

For us though, in this wonderful world of fashion we're already focusing on the next season and to us, it's already spring! Amber Watkins is the designer behind Amber Watkins Swim, an Ottawa based swim wear line that brings bold colours and clean lines together for simple yet elegant and wearable pieces.

Watkin's debut came this past Ottawa Fashion Week in September for the S/S 2012 shows.

Here are a few pieces from the collection, a link below to the full collection following these images.
