Inspiration Point was a style column I wrote for Toronto’s Eye Weekly [...] The idea was to hijack the stereotypical newspaper fash spread (product shot on white backdrop accompanied by swishy-style-copy-with-shop-info-deet captions) and convey how style is something that isn’t solely determined on the runway, but by the ideas and shared references that we often get so entangled in. (And why yes! The column’s name is a Happy Days reference. THX DAMIAN.)
