Mary’s love of the arts and beauty industry started young. Participation in school fashion shows and the unique advantage of growing up in a family of creative custom tailors and seamstresses exposed Mary to the fashion industry at an early age. She developed a strong appreciation and a deep understanding of quality workmanship. She grew deeply cognizant of the importance of a good fit and quality fabrics. Her extensive knowledge of fabrics and how the components of textiles (fiber, yarn, fabric dye, and finish) contribute to the finish of a garment was further expanded during her years of experience working in the fabric and textile industry. Her shift to the beauty and makeup industry was a natural progression with her expert eye for complimentary colour and passion for the arts. She is one of the best in the industry when it comes to choosing the perfect foundation or makeup colours for any skin tone.
