POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This collection was largely sourced from @uncommonclothing.co and @leosclothingsupply, who helped @mekkade and I bring this vision to life.

For us, vintage is the essence of conscious consumption. It proves that great design and craftsmanship can transcend time, and we wanted to showcase vintage as something luxurious, intentional, and worthy of high fashion.

As always, I wanted to bring together worlds that aren’t often expected to coexist. Corporate tailoring, vintage, ‘90s influences, and expressive styling all came together to show that fashion doesn’t have to exist in one lane.

More than anything, I wanted @mekkade and I to create something that felt like a love letter to Vancouver. A city so often called “dead,” yet filled with incredible talent that simply needs the opportunity to be seen.

That’s what Bring Culture 2 Van has always meant to me. Creating opportunities, building community, and showing what happens when creative people are given the space to create.

I hope this collection inspires you to see fashion differently, embrace conscious consumption, and recognize the incredible creative potential this city has always had. Much love, 🍯

As always, every year since I began my styling journey, I’ve created new creative projects to celebrate the incredible talent that exists here in Vancouver. Each year, I’ve challenged myself to push the boundaries of fashion and creativity a little further, and every venture reminds me that we just keep getting better.

I’m so excited to bring you another Bring Culture to Vancouver portfolio, showcasing some of the city’s most incredible talent. We really did our big one with this project, and I genuinely can’t wait to share it with you all. #styling

Honoured. Right after our 6 year anniversary, we found out Dank Mart was nominated, then named one of the winners of the inaugural Outstanding Independents Awards Canada, presented by Convenience Store News Canada 🏆

This is a national awards program recognizing independent retailers who are pushing the industry forward through innovation, tenacity, and community. The kind of recognition that's built for stores & teams like ours.

To everyone who's walked through our doors, ordered online, or supported us from day one, any recognition we get is because of you 💙❤️
