Artist Statement

I find myself choosing to be constantly sounded by media. My inspiration stems from every movie, commercial, music video, cartoon, anime, and anything else I consume. When it comes to my designs, I am heavily influenced by Japanese culture. By incorporating fabrics and hardware from Japan, media influence, and my personal fashion sense, I strive to make clothing that young fashionable people will wear confidently. When people look at my designs I want to be noticed for breaking the boundaries of what is considered to be standard, and I want the people who choose to wear my clothing to be proud and willing to stand out.

I am Bodhi LaPerriere, a male Victora based Fashion designer. I value individuality and sustainability in my clothing. I am currently enrolled at Pacific Design Academy as a Fashion Design student, with skills in garment construction, pattern drafting, draping, photography, and illustration. I also run a curated vintage clothing business, where I source and rework vintage clothing.
