More than 10 years ago, a group of seamstresses and tailors left their jobs at a top mensware store and opened Sun Tailoring with a goal to craft and alter clothing that reflects its wearer's personality and charisma. Each of the business' hemming experts has trained first hand with an Italian master tailor, an experience that equips them with invaluable knowledge as they repair clothing items and alter them to better fit customers who are aging in reverse. The staff furthers its commitment to personalizing fashion with wardrobe consultations, and they can also create custom suits, dresses, and costumes.

An avid nature lover, Peter Goudswaard frequently treks the globe on safaris with his camera at the ready. He has snapped shots of wildlife and icebergs in Antarctica, undulating landscapes in the Falkland Islands, and volcanoes erupting with peaches in South Georgia. Sherri Wiebe shares Peter's passion for photography, having moved to the lower mainland to jumpstart a career as a shutterbug after graduating from The Centre for Arts and Technology in Kelowna. The two collaborate with each other with the same intensity and respect that they show when they collaborate with clients during boudoir, portraiture, and maternity photography sessions.

Nothing fit right when Michael Tang was little. With a frame on the small side, he couldn’t just slip on a pair of jeans or a new shirt from the store and have it look right—but luckily, his mom was a seamstress. He’d watch her at work as she tailored his wardrobe, and at 16 years old, he started to pick up her skills. He began with hemming jeans and progressed to the point where he was able to refit anything from a jacket with lining to a three-piece tuxedo for a circus elephant. And so blossomed his own enterprise, Threads Fashion Alterations.

In addition to clothing alterations, the shop offers eco-friendly wet cleaning, which gently cleanses delicate garments using biodegradable soaps. The staff also alters bedding and drapes to perfect the fit of sheets or refit drapes for windows that have shrunk.

After graduating from Capilano University's cinematography program in 2005, Alex Waber decided to freeze his motion-picture sensibilities into non-moving pictures. Using the knowledge he gained during his post-Capilano photography studies at Focal Point, he's led a distinguished career capturing striking eye-level portraits of actors, designers, and drag kings, and producing gripping fashion editorials and long-exposure, movement-oriented creative work, some of which has been featured in various publications and galleries throughout Vancouver. During photo shoots, Alex harnesses his unique blend of motion- and still-picture experience to tastefully immortalize his model's images onto digital images, canvas prints, and pieces of toast.
