2019 Runway Collection

"If you believe you are beautiful, the rest of the world will too." - Michele Taras

Michele Taras decided to begin designing leggings due to a desire to have fun and exciting designs for herself and her friends, but soon the leggings took on a life of their own and received wide acclaim from passers by and store owners.

Michele Taras Art Apparel is entirely Canadian designed, made and manufactured. Michele Taras comes up with the designs, and then the designs are sent to a Canadian manufacturer who then puts these designs onto leggings, capris, dresses, kimonos and scarves.

Apart from the Maple Leaf leggings, these leggings are currently limited edition. Each design is limited to 25 pieces, so that you can feel you are wearing something truly unique. These leggings are good for every-day wear and working out and are super comfortable. You can also dress them up with a scarf and funky jacket, fun pair of shoes - and you are all set for a nice evening out! Due to the stretch and spandex in the fabric, these leggings are very comfortable and help to give you a great shape. Taras also would take old jeans, jean jackets and shirts and hand paint them, upholding the philosophy of recycle, reduce and reuse.

This is fashion for everyone, and Michele Taras reflects this in all her runway shows, inclusive of all types of people - be it height, weight or disability. There is something for everyone.

"Fashion, adventure and fun are for everyone, and everyone is incredibly beautiful." - Michele Taras
