The Foundation
Thea has always been captivated by fashion. She’s never had a favourite colour; she has a favourite colour palette. As a kid, she would spend her afternoons watching Fashion Television and stealing the latest editions of Flare magazine from her mother. Of course, during her teenage years, she explored many different looks. She had a punk phase, a goth phase, 90s pop princesses, retro pinup, business casual. You name it, she’s probably done it! And while everyone else in her grade twelve French class chose to do their final assignment on artists like Monet or Degas, the only choice for Thea was Christian Lacroix. Needless to say, Thea loves clothes — for their transformative power, for how they illustrate time, and for how they shape identity.

Philosophy
Inspired by performance and pop culture, Thea defines her style by exploring themes of glamour, utility and sensuality. She believe that fashion is an unspoken language and strives to create captivating stories.
“Fashion is a frequency and communication tool. It’s a space to explore all the archetypes of who you are and who you want to be. It’s a visual language and the channel through which we are perceived. It’s where energetic alignment, emotional resonance, and presence matter.”
