The “Greta Garbo” evoking name of Canadian fashion brand, Greta Constantine, is a combination of experience and creative efforts of two fabulous Canadian designers by the names of:
Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong.
The remarkable fact about the talented duo is that they work together from two different sides of the Atlantic and still manage to produce a super glamorous sexy ‘greek goddess” collection. Take a look here at the Greta Constantine 2009 spring/summer season.
Here is some background on the dynamic duo from their website:
“Kirk, a stylist by trade based in Milan, Italy, has worked for international designers such as Dsquared2 and Neil Barrett. He’s a guest teacher at the renowned ISTITUTO MARANGONI in Milan.
Stephen began his career as a costume designer in Toronto for Susan Dicks & Co. and has made clothing for several films such as THE LAST DAY OF DISCO, AMERICAN PSYCHO, GLITTER, CHICAGO and currently HAIRSPRAY, starring John Travolta.
Stephen’s draping and design expertise, paired with Kirk’s knowledge of fashion forecasting resulted in a business partnership and the establishment of GRETA CONSTANTINE in 2005.”
I think we will be seeing much more of Greta Constantine fashions . I for one just fell in love with at least half the collection! ( Swooning over the long goddess dresses, image 26 and 28 from the spring/summer 2009 collection).
Greta Constantine Atelier were also the chosen designers behind the dresses worn by the contestants of Canadian Next Top Model in the Fashion Magazine cover shoot . This will be a great publicity boost to this world class design team.

The dresses in this collection are gorgeous. They are sexy but best of all they are wearable. The draping of the fabic looks like it can hide a lot of “bumps” we all want hidden.
i really like the attention you are giving to canadian designers, they are a great group and very talented. its too bad that they don’t get more attention from other canadian media.
