Last month we went to Maine, just because we’d never been. We loved it. And because we hadn’t been to Vermont either, we went there, too. Then someone suggested we visit Montreal, being close; so we did. While exploring the city, we remembered that Dolcezza was there, the clothing company which had contacted Anne about using some of her work in their fall clothing line. She’d agreed, signed forms, sent digital images, approved the fabric samples…and then waited. At this point we’d not seen any results, so we thought, “Let’s go drop in on them.” We were so glad we did. They gave us a wonderfully warm welcome.
Random Acts, shown here, is one of the two pieces they chose. They’re quite particular as to what will work in what seasons and in what world regions, especially in terms of color.
A page from their catalog. The image of this print was used on a half a dozen articles, from shirts to pants to scarves and even a great jacket.
Here’s the catalog, featuring lines of a number of other artists’ work as well.
Another catalog spread with the use of professional models and photographers. Pretty classy.
Semantic Memory (above) is the other print they chose.
Back home, dressed in Random Acts, and (right) drinking tea in our back yard in Semantic Memory.
Another, here on our front porch, the blue top of Semantic Memory.
Each garment comes with a tag with Anne’s picture and a short bio, in French and English. (As with all of these, click for a larger view.)
Here is the president of the company and the prime designer of Anne’s line paging through the catalog during our hour’s visit.
This threesome is the main design team. Not shown, but also present, was their chief sales rep for Quebec who boasted that Anne’s jacket was his top seller this season.
As for where these clothes are available, they have a website but don’t sell online, rather through a network of stores internationally.
Ending the day and before leaving Montreal we found a street of eateries and selected one.
Here was Anne’s choice: quinoa and salmon with an orange vinaigrette.
One more, the day following our Montreal visit, Anne in her new parka back at the perfect hide-away where we’d stayed in Vermont.

Hyatt, tell Anne congratulations!!!!! Very classy!!!!
6:22 pm
Hyatt….what a beautiful design that Anne created and it’s now on a piece of clothing. I would like very much to purchase one of the jackets with Anne’s design. I tried looking up Dolcezza only to find gelato websites. I would be so thrilled to have one of Anne’s creations on a piece of clothing that I could wear around my artsy colleagues and then let them know about Anne and her terrific prints, etc. Will you share with me what I need to do or how I can find a store that sells the Dolcezza clothing line? All best wishes to you both…..Suszanne
1:55 pm
Hello Hyatt…..sorry I didn’t get a response from you regarding my interest Anne’s design on the jacket. Blessings to you……Suszanne
11:52 am
Sorry I didn’t respond sooner, Suszanne. I’m not really sure myself how to go about ordering the outfits. You can find the company at: https://dolcezza.ca It’s a Canadian company but they don’t sell online. The home page shows where retail stores are.
They list where you can order online. I think most of those outlets are also Canadian, but I found the jacket and a top at: https://wildcurves.com/Dolcezza-c5329480/
Hope this helps. I wish it were easier to purchase the clothes, but I may just be me.
Grateful for your compliments,
Anne
