Linda Veilleux, the founder and lead designer of Innovative Fashions has been following her passion for clothing all of her life. She just can’t seem to get enough of sewing, knitting, hand felting and learning about new techniques and styles. Clearly, she was born with this talent and it has been a guiding force along her path. No matter what other professional skills and education she has obtained, they all lead back to the one place where she feels most comfortable... creating clothing!

At the age of eight, Linda was sewing hats for her dolls out of dynamite wire and scraps of left over material.  By the age of fourteen, she had sewn herself an Easter outfit, complete with a wool dress and fully lined coat. As a young adult, she had the opportunity to live in Norway and couldn’t pass up learning how to knit from some of the natives. She mastered the skill, adapted what she had learned to her own style and then started teaching others. To this day she continues to teach her style of knitting Scandinavian sweaters to anyone who wants to learn. As you can see, she is inspired by beauty and it shows in the quality of her creations. She continues reinventing herself each day by continued education and experimentation not to mention her desire to teach others. There just doesn’t seem to be any end to her creative desires. If you ask her when she expects to retire she will tell you herself: "I'll never retire, I'm having to much fun!"
