Comparing the Hudson’s Bay Company point blanket and The National Ballet of Canada as unmistakable icons of Canadian culture, the Tutu Cozy was created with one goal in mind – to protect its lucky owner from the unforgiving winters that are characteristic of Canada, on and off the stage.
The Tutu Cozy was designed as a traditional coat with a high collar wrapping around the waist and a series of buttons running through the centre. The coloured stripes are a central focus of the tutu, each representing an element of Canadian life: red—“battle or hunt”, yellow—“harvest and sunshine”, green— “new life”, and blue—“water”.
Svetlana grew up in St. Petersburg, Russia, but is now based in Toronto, Ontario. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Design from the University of Manitoba, a Master’s of Landscape Architecture from the University of Toronto, and spent a delightful summer in Rome, Italy, studying the history of art and architecture.
