About Taina

 My name is Taina Millar and I am a 21 year old Metis female fashion student from St.Laurent, Manitoba located on Treaty 1 Territory. Growing up in a small town was challenging for a creative mind like my own. Being surrounded by people with closed minds can make your dreams seem small and out of reach. I knew I was always interested in new trends and clothing as a teen but I was too wrapped up in sports to tune into that part of myself. 

 After graduation I was very lost and didn't know what I wanted to do as a career, I knew I loved fashion but I always thought the only career in fashion was strictly designing. I did my research and eventually came across the business aspect of it which was all of the behind the scenes work I wasn't aware of. I decided to take a leap of faith and attend fashion school in Vancouver, British Columbia in March 2022 which is where I am currently as student at John Casablancas Institute for fashion business. 

 As a child I remember going through magazines and going straight to the who wore it better section. I would also find myself sitting in my aunties hair salon and looking through the stacks of ELLE and VOGUE magazines while my mom would get her hair done. I've always been very invested in pop-culture and I think it plays a big role in my love for fashion. I have a passion for writing, marketing and styling and I am looking forward to possibly having a job in these desired fields.
