the beginning
I began Auxvoir Style Collective after an opportunity to cast, style and direct a small business' rebrand shoot. At the time, I was also styling students for Youth Parliament of Manitoba. I loved watching them realize they could tell their own stories through style. I aim to create authentically styled looks, reduce photoshoot stress and increase ways to pursue fashion sustainably.
why I style sustainably
I am a storyteller. Style has always been a way to showcase who I am. Most importantly, it’s fun! My introduction to sustainable fashion wasn’t a choice, it was a necessity. Growing up my clothes were primarily secondhand or fast fashion dupes of the name brands I couldn’t afford. I had to be creative with my stylistic expression. Once I learned about fast fashion’s environmental impact and the mistreatment of garment workers, sustainable and ethical style became a priority.
I curate representative style stories for clients using what they own, the auxvoir closet as well as secondhand or vintage pieces supplemented by ethical and local items. With Auxvoir, I get to amplify stories using my favourite medium and make sustainable style approachable.
why a collective
Everyone's style story is collectively curated by their experiences and the community around them, the name acknowledges that.
