Wow, two lines now. You must be busy? Is it hard to keep up with the strict deadlines of the fashion industry?
Yes. Two lines means twice the amount of work since each line is its own entity. It does help having a partner though. Somebody to share the work load with and help each other out. It’s always hard to keep up with industry deadlines. Also competition is fierce, everybody is fighting for their spot so you have to keep up with all the other companies.

What is you favourite thing about being a fashion designer?
I like the creativity of it. Having an outlet to create my artistic ideas. I also like building an image and telling a story through a collection. The actual design part is great as well. Finding and choosing which fabrics and notions you want to use for your collection and putting them together as a functional, sellable product. It’s quite the challenge. Lately fabric sourcing trips to Hong Kong have been an added bonus as well.

How was your experience showing at BC Fashion Week in The Generation Next Competition?
It was great! I thought it was very professionally put together and the turn out of people was great as well. The day of the show I had just rolled in from a repping trip in Seattle/Portland, so it was quite the whirlwind affair. One minute driving all day and the next minute being thrust in front of about 300 people answering questions about Two of Hearts. I didn’t even have time to change. Even though we did not win, I’m glad we were featured as finalists. It was overall a great experience.

The Autumn/Winter look book for Two of Hearts has an awesome Seventies theme. What was your inspiration for that?
We decided that we would use the Sears catalog as inspiration for the line. Since a few Seventies styles seemed to be coming back as a trend we just couldn’t resist than to go all out, photoshoot and all. I think it was a great way to stir up some extra attention for the launch of our new eco line.
