Meghan MacWhirter | Calgary’s Best Dressed 2025

The self-employed ceramicist chooses vintage and thrifted pieces over fast fashion, mixing bright, whimsical and comfortable finds with many of her own quirky accessories inspired by her love of ’60s style.

What do you want your style choices to say about you?

I want my style choices to say that I choose to wear what I truly love, and that I value buying quality second-hand and slow-made pieces from small and handmade fashion brands over fast fashion.

 

Why is expressing your personal style important to you?

As a self-employed artist, I feel as though my personal style often reflects the pieces I create, and the pieces I create also mirror my personal style. These two things have almost always felt as one, and I don’t know who I would be without my style, as it’s something I truly take pride in and have so much fun with.
