"Project Runway Canada" alum Jessica Biffi will close out festivities at the upcoming Ottawa Fashion Week featuring spring/summer 2011 collections.
The Guelph, Ont.-born designer will cap off the event in the country's capital, which will be held Oct. 29-31 at the National Gallery of Canada.
Ottawa-based designer Emilia Torabi will open Fashion Week. Cynthia D’Amours, the designer behind Golden Fish Swimwear, and trained architect-turned-designer Rachel Sin are among those slated to show collections.
This will mark the fourth season of Ottawa Fashion Week which started off featuring fall/winter collections for the 2009 season.
Biffi was a finalist on the second season of the design competition series "Project Runway Canada." She has gone on to show her designs at Fashion Week in Toronto, launched the jewelry line Covet by Biffi, and created plus-size capsule collections through a partnership with Addition Elle and MXM.
She will branch out into menswear for the first time in her spring/summer 2011 collection which offers her version of the nautical theme with pastels and stretch jerseys in looks for men and women.
