Angela Cooney is a maven of seam, stitch and style who specializes in re-purposing clothing and fabrics into stunning wearable art. Formerly trained in Fashion Techniques and Design at George Brown College in Toronto, Angela bases her work on vintage clothes possessing a unique look and history she can re-tell with a different spin. Also amongst her creations are one of a kind pieces made with new materials that maintain the same avant-garde style. Drawing her inspiration from the textures of nature in her mountians-and-forest home of Squamish BC, Angela also cites David Bowie and Japanese street fashion as influences to her craft. She uses this same creative eye for her freelance work as a wardrobe stylist in Vancouver and the surrounding area.
