  Mahé Hatchuel

  My name is Mahé Hatchuel, I am a Fashion Marketing graduating student from LaSalle College in Montréal, Quebec. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology which gave me social understanding and tools that are transferable to the fashion industry.

  I have been working part-time as an assistant to a real estate broker for the past four years. This experience gave me some organizational skills, marketing knowledge and made me constantly step out of my comfort zone, from launch parties for luxury buildings to filming a realty tv show on real estate to creating fun and trendy content for social media.

  During my journey at LaSalle College, I took on the role of Coordinator for our 2nd year fashion show (SMCL19) and I am currently part of the ENTREPRISE 21 team, in charge of planning a virtual event showcasing the final projects of our cohort.

  I love comfortable clothing (sportswear, streetwear and loungewear) as well as luxury garments and accessories. It is important to me that the fashion industry evolves towards a sustainable future and I wish to be part of that change as much as I can.

  David Henke

  My name is David and I am a student in the Fashion Apparel and Technology program at Olds College. Upon completion of my diploma this year, I plan to continue my education at KPU. It is the creative aspect of fashion design that most appeals to me and I am particularly interested in men’s fashion; especially tailoring coats, suits, and luxury wear. I come from a long line of fashion and sewing enthusiasts. I was always fascinated with sewing machines and fabric and dreamed about creating my own brand of clothing.  I love smooth, clean lines and technical drawings that illustrate what a garment could be and what direction it could go. Pattern drafting and creating garment flats are my strong suits, but I look forward to expanding my knowledge and learning all I can to create clothing that people will be happy to wear not just for a name brand but for quality construction.
