What is your favourite piece of clothing?

I have a black wool coat that I bought on my honeymoon in Paris that I will love forever. I spent more on it than I probably should have at the time, but all these years later I still have it and love it. A bonus of living in Calgary means you’ve plenty of opportunities to wear a great coat.

 

What is your favourite designer or place to shop in Calgary?

My favourite designer is my friend, Paige Callaway. She creates the most beautiful and well-fitting Western heritage shirts under her brands, Pursue Victory and Paige 1912. My favourite places to shop in town are Holt Renfrew, Vespucci, Chinook Optical — and Smithbilt for a great hat.
