Stefanie Newton is a contemporary-retro womenswear designer, and graphic designer, from Keswick, Ontario, Canada.

Stefanie graduated from the Toronto Film School’s Fashion Design program in 2019. She received top honours throughout the program, and was the recipient of the Most Creative Collection Award and President’s Award. Handpicked by her design thesis instructor, Stefanie competed with a team on behalf of the school at the Creativ Festival: Project Creativ Catwalk competition held in Mississauga. She was also given the opportunity to intern at PYA Importer, working with the design team for brands LINE Knitwear and John + Jenn.

Stefanie then chose to continue her education, and graduated from Humber College’s Media Communications program in 2021. She sought to further refine her skills in the media arts, as the program covered her secondary passions: photography, videography, web design, and graphic design. She currently works part-time as a graphic designer, at a local printing business in her hometown, while growing her fashion brand.
