Women are smart. Women are beautiful. Women are leaders.

In honour of International Women’s Day, we took this opportunity to highlight the badass ladies behind our creative and design teams. We asked them a few questions from their female role models to what it means to celebrate IWD. Remember, every day is a good day to show the women in our lives some love and to raise our glass to their accomplishments.

The International Women’s Day to me means an opportunity to really highlight and feature all the powerful and amazing things we as women have accomplished and can accomplish. And honouring all the women before us who have paved the way. Believing that we all can aspire and grow to be whoever we want to be because we are women!

1. What does International Women’s Day mean to you?

I see International Women’s Day as a day to celebrate and be proud of all the achievements women have made throughout the years. It also serves as a reminder that there is still work to do to find true liberation and equality as women within society. Every day should serve as this reminder.

2. Name one woman that has inspired you in your life

By far, my biggest inspiration throughout my life has been my mom, Maria. Her countless acts of selflessness and strength have been the most defining qualities that I hope to emulate in my life. Her work ethic inspires me, and continues to do so, especially throughout the past year with her being a nurse—she truly is a hero.

3. Name your female fashion icon.

I always look back atBianca Jagger’s style throughout the 70s and appreciate how she often incorporated typical menswear pieces like tailored jackets and pants into her looks and paired them with more feminine pieces. To me, she embodied an effortless but cool style and always captured the room’s attention with what she wore.
