Sometimes you find someone you just really click with and I found that with Jordan, we shoot every once in a while and when we do we always have a great time.
This spread is for Denue published in Issue 9 of Vigour Magazine in January, you can grab a copy here.
Denue is a denim reseller based in Toronto, you should check them out.
Huge thanks to Roll Up Magazine Issue #28 Volume 3 for printing this spread of my images in the studio.
We had a great team to pull this shoot together and without them, none of this would be possible.

This line is constructed of Levi’s I picked up from a thrift store in the Summer of 2022. 100 pairs for $1 each. I did embroider some and silk screened on others and when my hands got sore I started to pull them apart and figure out how to make other pieces of clothing out of them. I mined a heap of patterns from Pinterest, printed them, pieced them together and then started to cut and sew the denim. I broke many needles and stabbed myself many times with pins and when I was at a loss as to how to make something I had an idea for Samantha was there to help. I have so much gratitude for everyone who helped me bring this to life.
A collection of 18 outfits hit the runway on May 21, and it was a blast.
Live painting in the Duer Flagship Store October 26, 2022, 11-3. Come by and say Hi!
Read MoreDo you know what a stockist is? It took me a minute to realize what it was but it’s kinda simple. It’s a store that carries your stock and I am so happy to announce I am back at Hunter and Hare.
I ran into Mickey, one of the amazing people who started the consignment shop recently and let her know that I have been upcycling and embroidering denim.
The pairs featured below are available in store now for you to try on, they retail for $100 each. The denim is upcycled and super soft. Stop by, say Hi and try a pair on, they will feel like you never want to take them off.
Now that fall is on the horizon it might be a perfect time to pick up your new favourite pair of jeans.
Guess what, I will have my up-cycled clothing featuring my designs at the Visual Space Gallery Summer exhibition.
More details about the event can be found here from July 20-August 13 the gallery is hosting a collection of local artists and I am so thrilled to be a part of the show.
The opening is today, will I see you there anytime from 2-4.

Over the summer I had the pleasure of spending some time with some RAW Denim. The wonderful people at Dutil Denim set me up with a pair of Doublewood Supernarrow Seam Raw Selvedge denim and they are divine. They can easily go from work to fun with a quick change on top and take you into a lazy or crazy weekend away too.
I'd highly suggest stopping by to say Hi and to learn more about RAW Denim and how its not only environmentally friendly but something that will become a staple in your wardrobe.
