We are very proud to present our FIG Ambassadors to you:
Alexis Fluevog
Vancouver, British Columbia
HIV/AIDS researcher working in Soweto, South Africa, yogi, hiker
My favourite FIG item: I love the GIG 10 230 dress from the 2012 VOYAGE Collection. It is a perfect travel companion – it takes little room in my luggage and looks great once I get to my destination! Also, the SOL 10 235 dress is perfect for those long-haul, overnight flights – it is very comfortable, but still looks great!
My favourite quote: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Nelson Mandela
Something that makes me happy: Hiking with my husband and dog along BC’s pristine coastline, family dinners, biking along the seawall on a summer day, picnics in Stanley Park, African sunsets, canoe trips in Canada’s wilderness, good South African red wines, playing ball with my nephew Charlie.
My next trip: UK, France and South Africa (all-in-one!)
FIG, for me, is... not having to compromise between style and comfort!
Morgan Waddell
Vancouver, British Columbia
Social worker,surfer, runner, skier and softball player
My favourite FIG item : My DUB 10 114 hoodie!
My favourite quote : "Live and work but do not forget to play, have fun in life and really enjoy it" -Ellen Caddy
Something that makes me happy : Running around the seawall in Vancouver.
My next trip : Tofino, to surf, and then likely Barbados, possibly combined with El Salvador for some more surfing.
FIG, for me, is...... a source of comfort after a long day at work or during an active day of skiing, running or surfing!
Julie Hébert
Quebec, Quebec
Physical activity and wellness specialist, mother of two and marathon runner, who loves being outdoors!
My Favourite FIG Item : I would have to say the NAF 10 289 dress, from the SAFARI collection. I don’t usually wear dresses but when I tried this dress, I was truly impressed! It is very comfortable!
My Favourite Quote : "We must live as we think, otherwise sooner or later, we’ll end up thinking as we lived ". Paul Bourget
Something That Makes Me Happy : My children, when they say "Mom, do you know what? We love you!
My Next Trip : In my dreams...I would choose to relax on a warm white sand beach but in reality, I will probably go camping with my kids this summer.
FIG, for me, is.....a great discovery! Super comfortable clothes that I can wear at work on a day-to-day basis, but also when I go out and am after a more sophisticated look!

Mara Panacci
Halifax, Nova Scotia

My Favourite FIG item: Right now I have to say the PEG 10 224 dress from the Spring 2012 VOYAGE collection. It's super cute, comfortable and looks great with a pair of wedges or flip flops.
My Favourite Quote: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss
Something That Makes Me Happy: Enjoying a bowlful of juicy grapes with my two year old daughter after a morning bike ride in the sunshine.
My Next Trip: Mexico! I plan to visit the Frida Khalo museum in Mexico City, explore Mayan ruins in Tulum and soak up the culture, all in my favourite FIG clothes!
FIG, for me, is...flexible, adventurous, daring, confident, and sexy. FIG understands that today's woman wants to create, invent and move...and look good doing it!

Sandra Dollin
Ottawa, Ontario
World traveler, employed at Rideau Hall, the governor general’s residence
My Favourite FIG Item: An olive green dress I bought in 2007. It is still in great shape and has been with me on countless adventures. Every other piece of FIG clothing I have is a close second.
My Favourite Quote: In response to the question: what would you like to be when you grow up? -"I'd like to be a cream puff. A cream puff with apricots, or even a plain one. Lukewarm at the bakery. In the window." From the movie Jeux d'enfants, by Yann Samuell
Something That Makes Me Happy: Riding a bicycle in a cute dress and high heels, sitting in a café at 10 a.m. on a weekday, lavender, red lipstick and the colour green.
My Next Trip: London and Paris.
FIG, for me, is...a perfect match. We are like Bonnie and Clyde or Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Always up for adventure!
