Women X Women Photography Exhibit

As part of the events of LG Fashion Week an exhibit celebrating Canada’s most prominent and emerging female fashion photographers was shown at Fashion House on King Street West.

Each photographer unveiled a never before seen high fashion editorial story that addresses the theme of “Women by Women”. The exhibited works will capture beauty, vulnerability, and strength of the model through the photographer’s eyes with the artistic direction drawing on the photographer’s own memories, style, and dreams.

The fabulous photographer Sarah Thomson used several of my pieces for her photographs. The first photo was published in the Women x Women book that was sold at the event.
