    It has been a whirlwind first year for Christina Remenyi, the designer behind the sophisticated, vintage-inspired lingerie label Fortnight Lingerie (fortnightlingerie.com). The Toronto-based company launched in February 2010 with their Super Sexy CPR instructional video, which is exactly what it sounds like and which received over 2.3 million hits mere days after its launch. “I wasn’t really sure how it was going to be received,” said Remenyi who designs and manufactures her handmade pieces with assistant designer and pattern maker Alison Chown. “I mean it was a great video and I had full confidence in how wonderful it was but you never know how people are going to react and it was really great to get all that amazing response back.” The Fortnight Lingerie founder and owner chatted with FASHION Magazine about her made in Canada approach and what it takes to make it in the Canadian fashion industry.
