SHEN in Black & White

SHEN Clothing embraces the fierce independence in all of us, creating a realm of quality and confidence for the modern on-trend woman. Designer Mary-Ellen’s greatest pleasure is making women feel empowered in their clothing.

“I would like Shen to embody the personal value I bring to my design. I am passionate about the fashion industry having started at the age of 18.” Mary-Ellen continues to support our local CMT’s and fabric suppliers.

Drawing inspiration from her travels in Asia, Europe and the USA. The well traveled designer names Japan and Hong Kong as two of her favourite destinations. I love relaxed silhouettes, cuts and use of drapery that takes cue from Japanese fashion masters. She designs for women of strength and sophisticated femininity. SHEN creates signature pieces that don’t care for seasons and become keepers for life.
