“You can wear whatever you want as long as you wear it like you mean it” is a piece of fashion advice Anna Heyd has always lived by. The co-founder of Vancouver-based home brand Wilet (formerly Flax Home) developed her sense of style early, sometimes picking clothes—like a full-length hoop skirt with lace trim—right out of her dress-up box. “Even then, I wanted to wear things that other people didn’t have.” True to her eclectic roots, Heyd now favours pieces with colourful, eye-catching patterns she can see herself wearing for the long haul. Like a collector, she loves a good backstory: “If I buy art and put it on my walls, I want to know about the artist,” she explains. She picked up the skirt pictured here during a trip to Copenhagen, where she was finally able to visit the boutique of her favourite designer, Henrik Vibskov.
