WORDS BY YURIKO IGA
December’s Blim Market heartily welcomes Tara Hach and her Meinrad Clothing line of designer apparel.
A graduate of Emily Carr Institute, Meinrad Clothing is a small idea born in Vancouver with a mixed heritage.
Small production runs, made locally, most often made by Tara herself. Unisex t-shirts, ruched leggings, fur vests, and other meticulous designs are made painstakingly by hand. Beautiful profiles and sexy, but not sleazy cuts.
This is how Tara describes the Meinrad wearer:
Roosters just want to strut their stuff. They are fashion gurus and are unafraid to create their own unique style. People admire them for the colors they wear, their pleasing outfits and dashing ingenuity. Roosters want to be successful, and their enduring self-belief makes them sure — cock-sure, in fact — that they can handle everyone and everything. Eager to know all there is to know about any subject that interests them, Roosters often show impatience and a lack of humility — they want only the best when it comes to material things. It might take Roosters a while to reach their goals, but it’s likely they’ll succeed, as Roosters are generally too proud to accept less than the best. They are perfectionists, which serves their ambitions but may be hard on those around them.
Blim Market is this Sunday, December 20
11-5 PM
Cambrian Hall, 215 East 17th. Avenue (17th & Main)
