Weaned on Butterick patterns and Coco Chanel cuttings from

the pages of old Vogues, Michelle Paiano has been dressing up

since she was knee-high to a Holtʼs mannequin. While other little

girls dabbled with Barbie Michelleʼs fashion imagination ran riot on the
pages of her sketchbook where her illustrations paved the way to a

major in Fashion at Sheridan College and later George Brown.

For the last 15 years she has worked with Toronto top

fashion photographers earning a reputation as one of Canada's

best stylists working in television, video and print. Her keen

eye for colour,fabrics and fit has styled celebrities from

Marisa Tomei toDaria Werbowy, and from Jay Sean to

John Cusack.
