Linda Lundström, O.Ont., (born 1952) is a Canadian fashion designer. She was born in Red Lake, Ontario and raised in the nearby hamlet of Cochenour. When she was a child, her mother bought her a sewing machine, and she learned to make clothes for herself and her friends.〔 She studied fashion at Sheridan College in Oakville before receiving a scholarship to travel to Europe to continue her studies. Upon her return, she started a fashion design business in Toronto, Canada in 1974, and sold clothes in Canada, the United States, and Europe. She was named to the Order of Ontario in 1995. A large part of her business was sales of Laparka, a fashionable winter coat, but warmer winters in the 1990s began to hurt her business.〔 The economic downturn of 2007 forced her to file for protection from bankruptcy in January 2008.〔 After her business was acquired by a private investment firm, Elgner Group, she was able to start designing again but resigned after 17 months, and in 2012, Lundström introduced a new fashion line called "L designed by Linda Lundström".〔 Linda Lundström is the Honorary Patron for the Christian Children's Fund of Canada Transform Communities Campaign to $1 Million to protect children from harm and abuse. ==Reception== Canadian fashion ranking aggregate website Canadian-Fashion.ca rated Lundstrom 3.5/5 stars. 〔http://canadian-fashion.ca/fashion/labels/ Canadian-Fashion.ca Ranking page〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Linda Lundström」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
