Thien Le

Toronto-based fashion designer Thien Le is an artist of many trades. Seven years ago, his natural talent for capturing line, colour, style and texture in his fashion creations raised celebrity eyebrows and captured media attention.

During his youth, Thien’s artistic energy was expressed through sculpture and painting. Continuing from a family line of custom tailors, fashion became the vehicle for his visual creativity. In 1998, Thien graduated from the International Academy of Design and received the Best Evening Wear Designer award. Having refined his skills from his work experience in visual merchandising and costuming at the Canadian Opera Company, Thien Le launched his own label in 1999.

Thien Le continues to create custom designs for actors Shirley Douglas and Colm Feore, events manager Barbara Hershenhorn, members of Toronto’s media and publicity personalities. Red carpet clients include Iman, Polly Shannon, Wendy Crewson, Elisha Cuthbert, Leelee Sobieski and Tia Carrera. The flying team at Bombardier sport Thien Le designer uniforms and Sandusky International are also Thien Le fashion fans.

Thien Le is very Canadian; although he is often better known in the fashion worlds of Honk Kong, Los Angeles and New York, he has recently become one of the most celebrated fashion designers in Toronto.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Thien Le is embarking on a new venture to create a line of women’s golf wear that will turn heads. Inspired by colourful fashion fabrics and the latest technical/performance fabrics, Thien Le will revolutionize women’s golf wear. Showcasing the feminine form, colourful and comfortable, yet eye-catching and unique, women will be as well-dressed lunching at some of the finest Toronto restaurants as teeing it off on the first hole. The collection is versatile, exciting and complete with a line of accessories to match.
