It's been an incredible year.

I want to give huge gratitude to my clients from this year, I am over the moon grateful for you, to work with you and make what we create together.

La Salle, Blanche MacDonald, Denue, LaMovida, Hometeam Models, Aleria Agency, The Ecologyst, Vancouver Fashion Week and the many magazines who continue to publish my editorials and the incredible people who help me make those editorials come to life.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped me create my line from upcycled denim this year. Everyone who helped me with the shoots I produced, the sewing of it, the feedback, the trying on, helping me with my sore fingers and always complimenting me when I wear a piece.

Here’s to 2024 making more memories and collaborating and creating together.

Free Admission, my up-cycled denim line in studio and in print.

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.

My hand made up-cycled denim collection.

Last summer I got my hand on 100 pairs of vintage Levi’s for $1 each and I got to work.

I started to embroider them and silk screen them too.

Then my hands got sore and the piles of denim weren’t shrinking so I thought about what I could do with them. I started to take the pants apart and decides to make clothing with the pieces. I found patterns on Pinterest and started sewing. A lot less labour-intensive for my hands and I had a lot of fun. This project kept me busy for the first two months of the year and now I have an opportunity to show the entire collection in a fashion show in April.

Stay tuned for details. In the meantime, huge thanks to Jared, Gia and Lauren for modelling for me in the studio one Sunday at the beginning of March. Special thanks to Courtney at Key Models for helping me bring this project to life.

The editorial was published in Selin Magazine ISSUE 26 VOL. 16 available to purchase here.

Sebastian, the story continues.

Sebastian is a model I have worked with three different times and the first two times we were accepted into Photo Vogue, my fingers are crossed for a hat trick.

This is the best part of what I do, seeing people’s journeys, watching them grow in their careers and sharing in that journey. I am so honoured and so damn grateful to have these connections.
