Bringing a bit of the Bay to the modelling runway. Fashion designers from NL get inspiration from homegrown crafts

CBC Newfoundland Morning

If you've never imagined making bustiers out of traditional Newfoundland basket weaving, you've never seen Richard Brophy's work. The Newfoundland-born designer and textile artist is getting ready to make a big splash at Montreal's Fashion Week, starting Saturday. Brophy and his partner, M-J Leblanc, are presenting "Engulfed;" a collection of pieces inspired by traditional crafts from this province. The two designers spoke with CBC's Leigh Anne Power.
