BABY STEINBERG

This Brazilian born artist and entrepreneur is known on the Toronto scene for her strong fashion statements and elaborate events. What began as a hobby in her home country, creating jewellery has become a passion and obsession for Toronto based artist Baby Steinberg. During the mid 90's while working as a nurse, Baby volunteered in the favelas of South Brazil teaching kids how to make necklaces. Baby's love for the art of fashion was born. From this experience, she decided to attend art classes instead of pursuing medicine.

Years later and after many travels, designing jewellery for Baby wasn't enough and she began designing clothing. Her style is of it's own and can definitely be described as worldly and avant garde.

Besides using fabrics for her designs she also uses recycled materials such as plastic bags, cellphone parts, used umbrellas, old keys, etc...

"Going back and forth between Canada and Brazil gives me my inspiration and creativity", she admits. Not known for her fondness to colder climates, she typically spends the winter season down south with an assortment of family and friends and running her store in a beach town.

This is where her ideas develop and also where she buys many of the materials she uses to make her collections. Baby's designs have been featured in various fashion and art shows, as well in magazines such as Moda(Brazil), German Vogue, Strut, Muslim Girl, Elle Canada and others...
