It’s my Tye-dye shirt dress. It’s super comfortable and when you’re running around, you need to be comfortable at the same time and not restricted.

What do you love about Toronto Fashion Week?
I like the community that it brings together and I like that it’s growing and the emphasis to bring out young creative talent is at the forefront these days. The fact that we’re in the downtown core is just a testament to that. It’s really putting a spotlight that we’re here to stay.
