Parallel passions for dance and fashion have propelled KADEEM FAUSTIN to the forefront of Canada’s Afrocentric style scene. Since launching his Kyle Gervacy collection in 2015, this self-taught, St. Lucia-born, Toronto-based designer has produced irrepressibly bold, dramatic clothes for both men and women. Bringing his talents to this year’s Cashmere Collection, Kadeem’s wholistic creative perspective extends to his originating the music and choreography, as well as the fashions, for his runway shows.
Soft song of choice: Be Mommy New by Kyle Gervacy
With the sixth, painstakingly crafted iteration of his Cashmere Collection creation, KYLE GERVACY designer Kadeem Faustin was finally able to fully express his interpretation of the Celestial Awakening theme. “To me, it’s about celebrating women and the idea of knowing and loving yourself.” While the sensually shaped bodice obviously references the Collection’s connection to breast cancer research, the gossamer multi-tiered skirt, he says, is inspired by the stages of a flower as it blooms. @kylegervacy
