Life is all about the mix. It’s about venturing out on familiar paths to new and unfound places. It’s taking one’s history on a journey of further exploration.

I have been obsessed with capes for the past couple of years and already have a few. But I want to take my love to new lengths… And you already know how this one would make me feel like Superwoman… There’s no escaping a love like this, my dears. And no, a girl doesn’t need [...]

Clunky shoe? That won’t do! Skinny stilt? Won’t climb hills! Is there an in-between that can mean I get through the lumps and bumps of life – and maybe even make it over Hump Day? Images: Selfridges.com.

It was 1987. My first fashion show. Steven Levy’s Festival of Canadian Fashion. Joyce Gunhouse and Judy Cornish were showing their Comrags collection. It was the first time I’d heard of them.
