Hair and Makeup!

Greg Wencel of pageonemanagement.ca


Met up with Daniel Fiorio (salondaniel.ca) and Greg Wencel at the Toronto Fashion Incubator to discuss hair and makeup for the runway show!

(Digression alert: Daniel had the most incredible jacket - soft black leather, knit sleeve - gorgeous!)

It is incredible that we get to work with these talented people for our first runway show.

The look is going to be amazing - a clean slate so to speak.

Check it out on the runway - April 24th at the Carlu.
