How She Started in Fashion

Malorie studied film at the University of Alberta. But even then, she loved making clothes just for fun. One day, she decided to join a local fashion show. This made her think about fashion more seriously. At her second show in Calgary, she won an award. This award helped her show her first clothing collection in Toronto.

Her Fashion Career

Malorie started her own clothing brand in 2012. Her first collection included cozy knitted sweaters, hand-painted items, and cool 3D-printed accessories.

She has shown her collections many times at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto. In 2013, she won the Mercedes-Benz Start Up award there. In 2015, she was nominated for a special award for new designers. This award was from the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards.

Her 2016 collection was very popular. It mixed old-fashioned styles with modern cuts. She used colors inspired by a northern winter. She also added a chic look from the 1980s.

Malorie often works as a stylist for "Fashion with Compassion." This is an event that raises money for good causes. At this event, she talked to buyers from Simons. She wanted them to sell her clothes. Since 2015, you can find her clothing at this big Canadian department store.

Malorie cares a lot about animal rights. For her 2014 collection, she chose angora wool from Nova Scotia. This was important because rabbits in China are sometimes mistreated for their wool. She also believes in making clothes that are comfortable and practical for women. She has even chosen different kinds of models for her fashion shows.
