ABOUT MYCO ANNA

Since 1995, the Québec-based eco-chic label MYCO ANNA has never ceased to amaze with its original, colourful designs blending new and recycled fibres. Slipping on a MYCO ANNA means draping yourself in elegance, glamour and femininity, and that one-of-a-kind detail guarantees all eyes are on you. It also means wearing an exclusive garment, since every made-in-Québec piece is unique. From a humble design studio, MYCO ANNA has become a prestigious, international and forward-thinking label that constantly evolves and adds to the prestige of Québec fashion.

WORKS OF ART!

MYCO ANNA’s inspired and inspiring designs can be compared to works of art, seducing both the eye and the heart, each one an homage to the beauty and personality of its wearer. Every collection is inspired by a theme and gleefully draws from various periods and genres, seizing on a detail, an influence or an impression to offer exclusive pieces that buck trends.

“At MYCO ANNA, we trust our intuition and are not afraid to venture off the beaten path. We are also inspired by fashion trends . . . to do whatever we feel like!”

NO LOGO ON MY MYCO!

You don’t need a logo to recognize a MYCO ANNA piece. Adept at the art of mixing and matching colours and materials, the label stands out from the rest by its original juxtapositions of fabrics, the brand’s distinctive trademark.

“We mix and match colours like in a kaleidoscope. The whole effect has to be harmonious . . . and unexpected! Every woman is unique, and so are our clothes. That way you can be sure you’ll never see anyone else wearing exactly the same combination of colours and materials.”

ALL FOR YOU!

From the drafting table to the factory, the final inspection to our boutiques, the MYCO ANNA team exerts meticulous control over every step in the design and marketing process to offer you quality service and upscale clothing that you’ll just love to wear.

SHE IS MYCO ANNA!

A law graduate, Christiane Garant passed the Bar and headed out to Western Canada. When she returned, her decision was made: she would make the leap into fashion, one of her long-time enthusiasms. After taking a college degree in fashion marketing, she was the fashion correspondent on TV’s Les Saisons de Clodine. Shortly afterward, she fell in love with MYCO ANNA, a good fit for her environmentally responsible values and design aesthetics. From that moment, she threw herself into her job as a sales representative in charge of development. So strongly did she believe in the label’s potential that she had no trouble going up to people in public to tell them about MYCO ANNA designs. Her efforts and enthusiasm paid off: the company grew rapidly and word of it spread. In 2001, Christiane Garant became co-owner of the company and, in 2003, sole owner, president and head of design, where she remains, as happy and committed as ever.

“Every little thing counts when it comes to beautifying the world.”
