 Broadway Dancer Makes the Leap From the Stage to the Runway
Those three words sum up KANIA, Canada’s Luxury Sweatshirt Line that is set to debut on the runway at World MasterCard® Fashion Week on March 26th at 4pm.Inspired by the demands of her career as a professional dancer on Broadway, in Hollywood films and commercials, Ottawa-based designer Stacey Bafi-Yeboa launched KANIA in 2003. Since then, the comfortable yet luxurious collections of the label have reflected Bafi-Yeboa’s personal mission to help women exude their own personal radiance.Ongoing success through a national presence at The One of a Kind Show in Toronto (March 25 to 29) and Signature’s Shows have also resulted in Bafi-Yeboa participating in The Mercedes-Benz Start-Up Competition in 2014.“My experience in the Mercedes-Benz Start-Up Competition was such an integral part of my career as a Canadian designer. Participating in the competition further confirmed that amongst the avant-garde style gowns and high-fashion lines, KANIA offers something truly unique to the Canadian fashion industry. An undeniable combination of comfort, style and luxury, suited to the diverse and dynamic lives of all women”, says Stacey Bafi-Yeboa, Designer of KANIA.
