Currently a corsetier in Vancouver, I have spent the last ten years learning about historical fashion and making my own historical costumes.

From ‘historically accurate’ pieces made with period techniques to modernized styles for my daily wardrobe, I love improving my skills and applying my knowledge in pursuit of a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to fashion.

There is a lot we can learn from history, and the study of clothing offers unique insights into the most personal and mundane parts of a person’s daily life. And it is this very human element that interests me the most.
