About:
In 2003 Jeff Madalena and Louis Terline concepted a small women’s store called Canary located at 145 Ainslie street in Williamsburg Brooklyn. prior to the opening of the store Louis, a native new yorker, had studied graphic design at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. After a year of freelancing and exploration post-graduation, Terline was asked to serve as wardrobe stylist for a small independent film. Having enjoyed his first taste of the industry, he went on to work on a number of new york independent films, including paper soldiers, produced by rock-a-fella records. in 2001, Terline was introduced to an intriguing side of fashion, when a friend asked him to style a fashion show for plus-size women’s clothing for Curvestyle in Manhattan. After recognizing an underserved market, he designed and produced a small collection of designer denim called Seventy Washington which is specifically proportioned to flatter fuller figures.
Canary and Oak on Ainslie St have been closed and re-located into one men’s and women’s store called Oak on North 8th St. the Park Slope store still stands. This fall Oak will launch a house line of core pieces and fashion pieces.
