How would you describe your style and who or what inspires you?

 A few things about me..

Antonia

Schindle

I’m a 20 year old fashion blogger, quintessential shopaholic, and self-proclaimed fashionista from Winnipeg, Manitoba – Canada. I’m going in to my 4th (and final year) of the University of Manitoba’s Textile Sciences (Product Development Stream) program where I’ve learnt the essentials on fashion and apparel design. I love fashion design and creating beautiful clothes and would love to someday sell my designs in my own boutique!

In December 2008 I was chosen out of 116 applicants as one of the 25 finalists for the Telio Design Competition 2009 (www.telio.com) and earlier this month had the dress I designed and created in the Telio fashion show during Montreal Fashion Week! It is one of my proudest accomplishments to date – nothing compares to the rush and excitement of a fashion show- especially when it’s your design coming down the runway!

One word could not sum up my style, but if I had to choose one it would be ‘ever-changing’. I’m inspired by new things every day. My family is a big inspiration; my dad is an entrepreneur, my mom is extremely artistic, and my brothers are musicians. My boyfriend is an artist and he inspires me every day. I love travelling to Europe and have gathered inspiration from the places I’ve been; Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Greece, and Cyprus. Fashion bloggers across the globe inspire me! I have an obsession with clothes and am constantly adding vintage pieces to my wardrobe – I don’t believe style and high price tags go hand in hand. To be honest, being a full time student I’m forced to be frugal but can still remain fashionable!
