Whitney Linen

Whitney Linen is a luxury fashion and lifestyle brand that creates with linen, a fabric that embodies the effortlessly chic Cote d'Azur.

Raised by a Montreal-born publishing magnate and a Toronto socialite, Whitney learned style at home. The Westwoods brought Hermes to Canada—opening the French label’s first national address in Toronto’s tony Hazelton Lanes in the ‘80s—and summered at their villa in the South of France. Jaunting along the Mediterranean coast with their children tucked into the back seat of a vintage 1930s Citroen.

With parents who loved travel, culture, dressing, and entertaining in equal measure, Whitney was gifted with an innate sense for gracious living. Growing up in homes filled with Cocteau drawings, Birkin bags, dinner parties and stylish guests. Her holidays spent tooling across France and Italy on restaurant-hopping road trips with her foodie father. Wandering the cobblestone streets of Nice and Porto Ercole, exploring the galleries of St Paul de Vence, and later, mixing it up in the beachy hotspots of Cannes, Monaco, and St Tropez. Well-travelled and fluent in French, at 15, Whitney was scouted by Elmer Olson, signed to Elite, and worked internationally for prestige labels from Jean Paul Gaultier and Celine to Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein throughout her 20s. Her modeling career followed by stints in PR and Event Planning, Whitney launched her signature brand in 2012, taking inspiration from the laissez-faire elegance of the coast that had long been her second home.

“I was always captivated by the relaxed everyday chic of the Cote D’Azur. Casual and off-the-cuff, yet effortlessly stylish,” says Whitney. “That attitude, that lifestyle, is the creative muse for our collections. We work exclusively with fine European linen, as it’s essentially the official fabric of the Riviera, so central to fashion and décor, it just reminds me of being there and all the lovely times we’ve had.”

Why we love linen:
Linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics, made from natural flax, a low-impact crop that requires less water and supports more conscious production.

A more thoughtful way to dress, every day.
