Star Sign Libra

Likes trees, brutalist architecture with trees incorporated

Dislikes insufficient sunglasses, the phone

Stacy's 25 year journey in the fashion industry began at age 11 when she bought her first fashion magazine. Three years later, and with the help of her high school counselor, she landed her first job in a small boutique. Her newly found income led her to charity shops where she began salvaging tossed aside couture and creating her own looks. The vintage she didn’t keep or restyle for herself she sold to the rich kids at school.

Stacy is known as a creative powerhouse with strong business acumen. In 1998, she developed an international apparel company and split her time between New York, Los Angeles and London. Her highly sought-after vintage collections have been shown with Los Angeles' Caskey & Lees and the exclusive New York Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show. Clients include designers such as Jil Sander, Anna Sui, Trina Turk, Natori, Andrew Marc and the costume designers for That 70's Show. Her street wear brand, edle, landed in high end boutiques in eclectic districts such as Tokyo's Shibuya-Ku, Chicago's Wicker Park, Los Angeles' Melrose Avenue, Portland's Pearl District and New York's SoHo. Press coverage includes Sportswear International Spring/Summer 2007, Portland Picks Fall/Winter 2006, REALM Winter 2001 and CBC Venture Winter 2001.

Born in Vancouver, she holds a B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 20th c. History. She also holds Business Development Certification from the British Columbia Institute of Technology and an RSA/CELTA from the University of Cambridge.

Hey there,
I just saw your comment on my blog (www.tofuhunter,com), and wanted to mention that if you're ever interested in doing a little farm work and learning about permaculture, send me a note and I can put you in touch with my friends on Molokai. They're always looking for interested and helpful visitors, and it truly is a delightful place to visit. Best to you! -E

Thanks so much for that. I may just have to take you up on that if I head that way!
