CPW is a Toronto based daywear label by Alexandria Ferdinand.
In 2021, while in her graduating year of the Toronto Metropolitan University's fashion design program, Ferdinand began conceptualizing CPW as an extension of her love for knitwear and sewing. After completing her undergraduate womenswear collection, she launched the label. Select pieces from the collection were sold exclusively through online marketplace Ap0cene, propelling her into the creation of future projects. She now sells items through her own website As well as the stockists Ap0cene, APOC store, L'Oeuvre, & 50m.
The label utilizes labour intensive techniques such as textile dying, hand knitting, pleating, and much more. Offering unique yet wearable pieces that fall in line with its overall eclectic aesthetic. Prioritizing slow production methods, every piece is offered either on a made-to-order or small batch basis to ensure quality, reduce material waste, and eradicate over production.
