Fashion designer Erica Vanessa Collymore launched her label in 2010. Erica Walcott, NY is a euro classic chic brand aimed at women who want sophisticated, stylish and sexy clothing.
Erica’s love for fashion design was inspired by her father, a renowned tailor who was known for his innovative designs in his hometown of San Juan in Trinidad and Tobago. Erica’s foray into the fashion world began slowly. She created her own wardrobe and wore her designs exclusively – and people took notice.
While Walcott owes much of her design aesthetic to her West Indian background, she has a special respect for Coco Chanel whose classic style she embraces. Walcott takes Coco Chanel’s statement, “Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury” to heart and, to that end, provides a clothing line for women that is both stylish and comfortable. She believes a woman shouldn’t be uncomfortable in her clothes in order to be beautiful. This sentiment is summed up in Walcott’s company statement, “It’s not just fashion, it’s a life style”.
