Beaufille

Beaufille is a Canadian fashion label specializing in fashion, jewelry and accessories for women. Beaufille (pronounced bo-fee) is a nonsensical French word meaning “handsome girl,” or “one who presents an effortless chic demeanor.” The brand symbolizes the marriage of masculine and feminine and an allusion to their French names and heritage.[1] It was founded as Chloé comme Parris in 2009 by sisters Chloé Gordon and Parris Gordon.[2] The name was changed to Beaufille in April 2013.[3] Both sisters studied at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Chloé Gordon graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in Textiles while Parris graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in jewelry.[4] Chloe Gordon designs the ready-to-wear while Parris Gordon creates all of the accessories for the label.[5]

The brand has received media coverage in newspapers, magazines, and other publications, including Vogue,[6] Style.com,[7] Nylon, FASHION, Women's Wear Daily[8][9] and Glamour.[10]

Reception

In January 2015, Beaufille received the Emerging Accessories Award at the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards.[11]

In 2017, Beaufille received the Womenswear designer of the Year award at Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards.[12]

Also in 2017 Beaufille made the Forbes 30 Under 30 List, saying, "Chloé and Parris Gordon, co-founders of Canadian fashion label Beaufille, are exemplars of the “effortless chic” aesthetic that's perpetually in vogue but so difficult to master." [13]

Notable Clients

Beaufille has dressed celebrities such as Solange, Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, Julia Garner, Elle Macpherson, Selena Gomez and the Haim (band) sisters. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]
