Joanna
Name: Joanna
Occupation: Dancer
Joanna describes her look as “daytime casual”. She says the mild weather inspired her to throw on her vintage utility/army jacket and “rock that with a big, heavy cardigan and some crazy leggings.” Her favourite items are the jacket and her vintage boots.
As a professional dancer, she cites the importance of having good footwear. “I don’t care how much they cost,” she says, “but they have to be a proper, well-balanced shoe that I can walk in without hurting my feet.”
Timmy / Shawna

Timmy likes to wear baggy jeans and baggy long-sleeve shirts. His favourite item is his StepChild snowboarding sweater, which his brother gave to him. He started skateboarding last summer and says he’s “pretty sick at it.”
Shawna describes her look/gear as chilled, relaxed, and warm. Her headphones are her favourite item, because they’re colourful and “out there.” She’s a gamer, which explains the Mario shirt. She’s into hairstyling and does her own hair.
Leah
Name: Leah
Occupation: Aspiring midwife
Favourite item: That would be this dress. I wore it to my prom. I got kicked out of my prom before I even got in, because I got there drunk (laughs). That’s how much of a party dress this is.
Piers
Name: Piers
Occupation: Auto glass technician
What kind of stuff do you like to wear? How do you like to dress?
I dress like a f**king rodeo clown. I don’t know… Acid wash jeans… It depends. Whatever I can get cheap or for free, I guess. Thrifty. I like thrift stores.
Favourite item: My jacket, because I’ve had it since I was in grade 8. I’ve been working on it for a while. It was just black when I got it. I painted it and studded it up.
