About

Contact: laura@forthoseabouttoshop.ca

I’m a freelance fashion writer living in Toronto.

For Those About To Shop is fashion with purpose: the philosophy and social implications of fashion, epecially body image and sustainability

You are what you wear: I am interested in fashion as a social barometer and shopping with a conscience.  I believe what we wear reflects who we are and the world around us. Fashion is fun not frivolous: our choices speak about us and our view of the world. Fashion is more than the clothes we wear; it’s how we feel when we are in them and what they say about our selves.

My hero is Coco Chanel and I feel I am letting her down whenever I wear something corset-y or constricting. I ask Coco’s forgiveness and do it anyway.
