Vancouver-based fashion brand Givers and Takers specializes in architectural, artful denim designs.
Jennifer Ng says she doesn’t have any formal training in fashion—besides a few sewing courses, most of her schooling was in interior design. But she’s always had a love for clothing, and she quickly shifted her focus from interiors to apparel when she moved from the Philippines to Vancouver in 2019.
With her background in interior design, Jennifer Ng designed her clothing line Givers and Takers to have an architectural vibe. “I used to be a really avid shopper when I was younger,” Ng admits, “but now I’m a lot more conscious about my consumption.” She began to value quality over quantity in her own closet, and translated those ethics into her slow-fashion brandNg’s handmade denim clothing embraces minimalism while striving for a specific structure and form—the striking shapes, clean lines and restrained colour palette give her garments an architectural vibe .
The Mount Pleasant-based designer loves 100-percent cotton denim for its tactility and sturdy construction, and each of her shirts, kimonos, dresses and playsuits embraces the unique fabric. She’s a mindful material girl. The cropped shrug challenges everything you know about a “basic” shirt: it may be minimal, but it’s a statement piece.Artist Carla Tak Has an Incredible Art Collection in her Olympic Village Home
