Are there any specific designers or brands that you admire and often wear?

Reflecting on the things that have made an impact, there are two brands that truly resonate with me and have earned a special place in my wardrobe.

Drake’s of London: Now, here’s a brand that’s become something of a secret weapon in my style arsenal. Their accessories possess a unique ability to turn an outfit into a statement. With their knack for blending patterns and colours artistically, Drake’s seamlessly aligns with my preference for merging timeless elegance with a modern touch.  The meticulous attention they invest in the smallest details and their unwavering commitment to craftsmanship truly strikes a chord with me—it’s as though they’ve honed in on exactly what I seek.

Alden of New England: I’ve always had a soft spot when it comes to footwear, and Alden takes the spotlight for me in blending tradition with comfort. Their shoes aren’t simply footwear; they’re stories meticulously crafted stitch by stitch. As someone who values both timelessness and comfort, Alden’s creations perfectly cater to these priorities. It’s almost as if they’ve tuned into my style sensibilities, where quality and style coexist harmoniously.

So, when I choose to wear pieces from these brands, it’s not merely about donning something—it’s about making a subtle statement, embodying the essence of meticulous craftsmanship and style. These brands align with my personal values and preferences, and I’ve always found that the devil’s in the details. These two brands consistently hit the mark when I want to finish a look with impact.

Justin pulls his look together with clothing that is easy-going yet visually impactful. Every item at Foosh, speaks to the latest in streetwear and art culture. Sneakers and a ball cap or toque are not only practical and functional but also act as fun accessories. To Justin, expressing one’s own style is paramount. 

What inspires your personal style choice?

Now that I’m chasing around kids, I’m inspired by what’s comfortable…and (for shoes) always a pair of Nikes

How do you stay inspired and keep up with the ever-changing fashion scene? 

I am inspired by the women in my community who are constantly evolving, improving and challenging themselves. My work relationship with Natasha (vintage specialist) is all about learning new things and honing our customer service skills and pushing ourselves to try new things creatively on social media platforms and beyond. It’s great when you have someone to bounce your ideas off of! Surrounding yourself with people of every age also helps keep your mind sharp and your ideas fresh.

How do you balance staying on-trend with maintaining a timeless and classic personal style?

Fashion to me, is about individual attitude and style. Knowing who you are and what you’re comfortable wearing. Staying on top of what’s new in fashion and pairing new pieces with the classic ones makes an outfit look contemporary, layered, and rich.

Trends can be fleeting;  I don’t worry about every change that comes and goes. Personally, I believe in ethically sourced, well-made clothing and I’m not afraid of colour, fun patterns and being a bit different.
