About Me
- Victoria_Not_So_Beckham
- Born in Toronto, I began dance training at an early age starting with ballet which eventually progressed into a main focus of jazz. Starting at the age of six I began my constant flip flopping of living in England and Canada. When in Toronto I attended the Interplay Dance School. In England I attended classes at Bodywork Studios. After alternating between living in England and Toronto with my family, I graduated from the Bethany Hills School near Peterborough, Ontario, to attend George Brown Dance with their foundation program. After George Brown I flew back to England for the third time in my life to attend the Cambridge Performing Arts College for three years, my major being dance, but discovered my true calling was the fashion industry. I have worked as a freelance model for three years and a stylist for just a year, also freelance. I put a lot of what I learned from my years of performing arts study into my modeling and into my styling, on occasion have actually had to model as a ballerina or style for dancers. I have worked with many prestigious people in the fashion industry already.

Log One
So my first entry I thought I would discuss and showcase a particular company I have on countless occasions worked for. Her name is Cat Shanahan and she owns an online vintage store through Etsy called "Aiseirigh Vintage". She has a fantastic collection of vintage clothes she has collected and continues to collect over the years. It is all very feminine and yet some what wild, very much to my taste. She is planning to bring her online store to the masses in Yorkville (the Bond Street of Toronto) and would like me to be involved which is fantastic for both my modeling and styling. If it wasn't for her encouragement I don't think I would've pursued with the styling. Here I thought I would showcase a few of the clothes I have modeled for her. Old and new.
It has always been a pleasure to work with Cat and I hope I can help with her dream to bring vintage to the runway and make vintage even more relevant in the fashion industry. On another note, I am very excited to have started with BAPP. I am currently editing with my BAPP "Getting Started" video and hope this will expand my career in the performing and fashion world.
