Please take a moment to get to know Inna and Kirill, of Inna Clothing Co. Reading this interview it is easy to feel the synergy they create together and it shows in the clean, modern designs of their clothing line. It is also awesome to read Toronto has a great community for supporting independent fashion. That makes us very happy here at Smashing Darling!

Inna has been a stylist and dressmaker for most of her life, mostly for a private clientele, while Kirill grew up in this fashion oriented environment.

This seaside ceremony in La Jolla, California is like a dream! The gorgeous ocean view and the modern architecture makes Mireille and Allans big day artful and fresh. Things to love about todays featured wedding: the cascading white and green flowers staged in tall glass vases; ocean side cocktails at sunset; and my absolute favorite Mireilles Junko Yoshioka dress. Strapless, baby A-line gown with georgette draped bodice and chiffon pleated rosette detail, opening to reveal tiers of rufflesJust perfect!
