"Who Am I"
Firstly and most importantly I am a lover of Fashion. As a confirmed mommy's boy I learned sewing from my home seamstress mother. From a very young age I loved to design create and explore the world of fashion and costume . I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts, in Costume Design and Art History. After working as a theatrical costume designer , teacher and artist , I have recently dedicated myself to writing this blog .
I live in Vancouver , Canada with my partner Angelo. A great life begins with a purpose , my first priority is my partner and family and my second is meaningful work. In fact Dress The Part started with an idea to spread my love of fashion and sharing my expertise and knowledge. Hence this is my meaningful work.
