GET TO KNOW EMMA BLOG

I met Emma during my first week of university and we quickly became attached at the hip. Emma is one of the kindest, most selfless people I know and I’m so lucky to call her one of my best friends. On a sunny Monday in Brooklyn, we styled some looks in Emma’s Williamsburg apartment, made a quick pit stop for lox bagels, and headed to DUMBO to shoot our new pieces. Emma (as always) was effortless and a true pro.

GET TO KNOW MARGO BLOG

Margo's infectious giggles filled the room the first time we met. I instantly felt her warmth and felt very at ease and comfortable around her. We threw out the idea to shoot together and a year later in Malibu, she modelled for Slate! Her authentic and kind personality shines through in these images, taken by our photographer, Bronson. We would absolutely love to work with Margo again and look forward to watching her continue to grow!

GET TO KNOW AMBER BLOG

When we stumbled across Amber's Instagram page, her effortless coastal vibe exactly embodied our vision for our golden hour shoot. Our photographer and Amber met on a windy day on the Surf Coast of Victoria, Australia where they spent a few hours making magic in our linen essentials.

A SLOW FASHION FUTURE BLOG

Over the past few months, I’ve been surprised in many conversations that the term fast fashion isn’t commonly recognized. As I consider Slate a slow fashion brand, I wanted to explain exactly what that means and to bring light on the benefits of supporting slow fashion companies.

GET TO KNOW AKECH BLOG

I had the pleasure of meeting Akech at my very first fashion show in November 2018. Fate brought us together when I was looking for one more model to walk the runway and the organizers introduced me to
Akech - a beautiful, bubbly soul with an infectious smile and warm personality.

WHY WE LOVE LINEN BLOG

As linen lovers here at Slate, we wanted to share a few key points as to what makes us so obsessed with this fabric and why you too should hop on the linen bandwagon.

GET TO KNOW HANNAH BLOG

Hannah quite literally brought the sunshine to our shoot. We instantly were in awe of her adorable banter, warm personality and capability to be unapologetically herself. Her big, natural curls bounced around the studio as she effortlessly jumped pose to pose in our linen sets & separates.

THE STORY OF SLATE BLOG

Slate has been years in the making. The brand was born during my final year of fashion school in my little apartment above Kensington Market in Toronto. I wandered into the idea of creating a sustainable clothing company for my capstone project at Ryerson University, which stretched over the entire year and acted as my creative thesis.

GET TO KNOW ALY BLOG

We met Aly on a summer day in Kelowna, BC and immediately fell in love with her bubbly, care-free personality, her ability to light up a room, and of course, her signature freckles.
