dEDIGER

Fashion – Winnipeg

Ediger hails from rural Manitoba where, living on the family farm, she was encouraged from a young age to explore the limits of her imagination across a wide spectrum of activities including sewing, welding, woodworking and other more traditional artistic pursuits. Her parents, encouraged her and her to try anything that would get their creative juices flowing, which she credits with expanding her creative horizons though from an early age she knew she would one day work in clothing. After studying fashion design at the Blanche MacDonald Centre in Vancouver followed by an internship with a New York menswear label and starting her now shelved swimwear label, Ediger returned to Winnipeg two years previous and credits that decision as an integral aspect for making the shift from women\'s fashion to men\'s. She relishes the rich diversity and artistic spirit found here and has been honoured and humbled to receive the support she has since launching last fall at Nuit Blanche.
