Published by

I’m in the Fashion Magazine April 2008 issue with some peeps from the Toronto fashion scene. The ad is for the Buy Design for Windfall fundraiser. I had no idea that we would end up in a full page spread in Fashion Magazine, it’s kinda neat. Unfortunately the left hand side got a bit cutoff because of the magazine seam. EDIT: I’ve replaced the image with one that isn’t cut off. Click the image to see a larger version

Inspired by “Anime”

As a former hardcore anime addict, I should be all over Biddell’s new collection, it’s influenced by anime. However, this invite, with it’s piss poor excuse for an anime character tells me something else. And really, couldn’t you have dressed the chick.
