Nicole LeClair has loved art and fashion since she was a little girl and even pursued it in her professional career.
“When I was about 21, I applied to go to Red River College, take advertising art, but I also applied to go into fashion school but I didn’t get in so I sort of went, ‘OK, that’s my path now,'” LeClair said.
