She previously worked as a vintage clothing buyer in Montreal for many years and as an assistant for a film and television costume collection.

Chad Burton is an editorial stylist specialising in both on and off-figure stories. Originally from a small farming village on the Canadian prairies, Chad escaped to the fluorescent and booming Asian pop culture machine that is Seoul where he spent five years documenting the South Korean capital's fashion scene and street style, contributing regularly to sites like Street Peeper and Diane Pernet's 'A Shaded View of Fashion'. After dabbling in some e-commerce styling at one of Korea's most popular mens’ online shopping sites, he packed up and moved across the world once again in 2011 to London, England to pursue a career in the magazine industry. Internships with magazines like Schön! and Ponystep led Chad to bigger roles as Fashion Editor for both 1883 Magazine and Boys By Girls.
