Lachapelle worked as Luc Laroche’s “other half”
for many years. According to the designer and MFW
president, she deftly managing his backstage for his shows. Her
own was equally well crafted. ‘This was a very strong first collection
from her,’ said Laroche, immediately après the well-received
showing of her new label Chichi. He was also seeing the collection,
a year in the making, for the first time. ‘I had seen some pieces
of the line, but she made me wait to see the final result—and it
was worth it.’
Eve Gravel honed her design skills under such
local design luminaries as Kevin Allwood of the Nevik label, Georges
Lévesque and Kathleen Kovats. Her third collection under
the brand name of Eve Gravel Design showed an eclectic mix
of pure white against vivid shades of red, turquoise, pink or light
green.
