Fashion
is a fierce and competitive industry. In a world of
swirling fabric and fickle fame, each stitch is a
strategic step toward a designer’s success—each
collection, a chance to make or break one’s career.
Entering the gladiatorial arena of fashion with
a confident gait, fusing function with couture
to achieve stunning elegance, is radical pattern
maker and designer, Tristan Licud.
In his 2015 Spring-Summer Ready to Wear
collection for women, Licud used “asymmetrical
shapes and daring cuts” to flatter Afro-inspired
patterns and colours, adorning Toronto runways
with zesty hues.
