NEW! Photoshoot for one of my lovely students (sewing & design)

A few weeks ago one of my talented student's (Erika Ferreira) created 3 pieces which were sewn & created under my guidance, for her fashion portfolio for Ryerson University. We then created a rogue photoshoot with more creative ladies in tow! Our model was my wildly hilarious friend, Aimee Davison of "100 hundred jobs" and the calming photographer was Emily Gan
