Eco Dress

I know it's already up on my site, but this shoot I'm probably the MOST proud of, out of all the work I've done with "The team"

I had to build an "eco display" at work, with my co-worker, Courtney Turner. We made a dress out of recycled materials and silk plants.

I got in contact with the Costume Museum of Canada, and asked if we could do a live shoot during their "Green is the New Black" Fashion Event. 

This is how we rolled

*Headpiece made my me as well out of recycled materials - I think there's everything from a second cup lid to the inside pieces of a flashlight!

Styling Update - Creatives

I'm so stoked on this month!

We're (Janelle and Janique, and myself) working with a few different Winnipeg photographers on a couple creatives.

I just did a shoot tonight that was very "Blade Runner"-esque!

I truely am sick of doing shoots at work in the mannequin room... I totally get that it's UBER creepy to be in a room full of mannequins, body parts, and broken pieces... but it's totally unoriginal to shoot there for me now... I just feel it's overdone. but that's because I always get asked to use it. lol.

Anyway, tonight I worked with a whole new crew. Mike Latschislaw shot, and we used a very stunning model from Swish, Jen  (Great facial bone structure...). I actually created Jen's look from ripped up black fabric/pantyhose, metal chains, duct tape, electrical tape, and leather. I'm stoked to see how it translated!

I made Mike take some photos in the basement of HBC to show everyone WHY I say it's so terrifying to be down in the prop warehouse alone... lol. I will post them when I get 'em. 

Stay tuned! 

This is London

COME ON!!!! 

Colours...textures...layers...

I'm crazy about the colour combo going on here...

What I wouldn't do for those shoes...


I can't get enough of UK street fashion...

not only because I get to wait 3 years for it to make its way into north american mainstream culture to be "in fashion," but because, well you know... I'm all over that hobo-chic, street kid look.

If men took the time, they'd fit the crime (give me back my heart)

It's become apparent that there are some things that just HAVE to be added to my wardrobe in the near future:

1) a wolf tee 

2) oversized, distressed boyfriend shorts

3)to just admit to my love to beat up nylons and killer accessories

3)a killer boy with killer style

4)thigh high/knee highs

5)boyfriend blazers (sleeves rolled up plz)

6)killer fem-vintage dresses 

Off Figure Styling

I wanted to do some Off Figure Styling, so of course I asked David Lewis to shoot it for me!
I was lucky enough to nab some killer clothing from Drew Bickford (owner/designer of Lotus Signature Apparel).

After about 6 hours of playing around, we finally got these results:

It's a first attempt of many more to come, and it was a great learning experience :)

P.S. If you haven't done so, check out Drew's clothing line. It's seriously good stuff!
