With the same initials as Coco Chanel, it is no wonder this girl was born with a flare for fashion. After studying fashion design in Montreal for three years, she continues to pursue her love of the arts by creating her own garments and attending art classes. And of course she stays au courant like any die hard fashionista by savoring every drop of Paris Vogue! Cecily knows what she wants, has passion, drive and her sense of humour is as fiery as her mane! She is such a loyal, beautiful person with wonderful insight on life and is a wonderful friend- C.C. your friendship has meant the world to me!
Cecily is an avid world traveller and always brings back treasures from her journeys- she has a closet full of amazing clothing with taste that has been cultivated over a life time- she will only get better with age! She will surely be assistant to a fabulous designer... it is only a matter of time- or maybe she will decide to take the reigns of her own fashion house? Who knows what possibilites the future will hold!
