Extremish Design

Fashion – Ottawa

Vêtements Extremouches- an ode to Franco-Ontarien and québécois slang; adding -ouche tones down the extreme nature of blaspheming curse words. I thought it ironic and apt. Extreme is a word people like to throw at others whom they do not understand. Take back the misnomer, and make it your own. With the backstory in mind, Vêtements Extremouches Extremish Design (VEED) came to be in May 2018 after years of being afraid of failure, and realizing that the answer would always be NO unless I got out there and stopped being afraid to fail. Thrifted creations, custom alterations, and a unique blend of old and new, with a focus on sustainability and natural fibres. Extremish Design is currently a one-woman show operating out of a basement apartment, hand-dyeing fabrics over a teeny-tiny stove.
