Caroline Lim is the brains behind Kity Clothing. This former Ryerson grad has won many awards on the national and international level. I even watched her on the Making it Big reality show. She continued her winning streak on that show also. Kity is available at Sense of Independance and Pho Pa in Toronto. Fans across Canada and on the internet can also get their hands on her designs. Caroline graciously answered some questions I had for her.
