Allison Wonderland and Pillar are two distinct women’s clothing lines created by designer Allison Smith. Allison studied Fashion Design & Technology at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. She started Wonderland in 1998 and Pillar in 2011. The pieces are often inspired by the 1970s and exude style and playfulness.

Allison is committed to “slow fashion”. The designs are timeless and made to last for years rather than discarded as fashions change. Both Wonderland and Pillar garments are made in Vancouver in collaboration with small local businesses using natural and sustainable fabrics whenever possible. Scraps are donated to local crafters to further reduce the company’s carbon footprint.
