Leslie Morris
As a young girl, Leslie remembers the countless hours she and her mother would spend looking for designer deals on Spadina Avenue in Toronto’s Fashion District. She remembers her mother having exquisite taste and loving beautiful clothing. One thing Leslie observed was that her mother was consumed with the size which appeared in every garment. The size of a garment meant more to her mother than whether or not she looked great in her clothing. Leslie watched the emotional pain and frustration her mother experienced as she left stores empty handed because she could not accept her self.
Over the past 20 years of working in the fashion and beauty industry Leslie has connected with many other women like her mother. Not fitting into a certain size somehow meant that they were damaged and unworthy of making clothing purchases. Watching women deny themselves made Leslie feel a great deal of sadness. She feels that having a great wardrobe is a way to celebrate a women’s individuality. Garment size to Leslie means very little because she understands that miracles are created with the right garment lines and colour rather than the number which sits inside of a garment. Leslie knows that if women do not feel at peace with their bodies they will always be stuck on the size of a garment which urged her to start Leslie Morris Image Consulting.
Her formula is simple, once you learn to embrace your body type and stop wishing to have someone else’s; the transformation of a successful image will start to emerge. The world is full of fashion images to follow and emulate, however you need to identify with who you are before testing them out on yourself. Leslie believes we are trained to act before we think in the world of fashion which leads to many impulse purchases. Her mission is to have you think before you make clothing purchases so that your clothing links to your spirit and not only the must haves of the season; other wise you just end up wearing a cover which hides your true beauty from the world.
