Studio We

One of Wilson Li’s main reasons for opening Studio We, a leading fashion retail store in Leslieville, was to experience firsthand the experimentation that goes on in the fashion world. New styles are being set everyday, and Wilson wanted to be at the crest of the trend while contributing his own sense of style. “I have a vision of it and know what I’m good at,” he says, “so I wanted to see how good I am. That’s always the type of challenge I take on…if I can do it, if I have the guts or timing, then I’ll do it; I’ll just try.”

He finds that clothing is a representation of a person’s personality, and uses his clothes to make a bold statement. Wilson is completely unafraid to try new outfits and styles, and he loves finding new combinations that really work. He also draws inspiration from Europe and Asia; two places he says are leaders in fashion that he can see making their marks in Toronto.
