Je Suis FUNKD

Toronto’s fashion community continues to impress me. I’m lucky enough to know many clever and talented people in the industry, like my friend, Mark Patrick Foreman, a designer and popular DJ. Mark is the creative force behind FUNKD, a cool and stylish line he started a few years ago to support and empower local communities by having everything locally and ethically produced. Their mission is to create fun, fashionable and comfortable clothing that’s made with Canadian craftsmanship. And trust me, these clothes are everything he set them out to be, and more.  Continue reading “Je Suis FUNKD” →

The idea to do a men’s collection has been in planning stages for some time and as you’ll see, it was well worth the wait.
