October 29, 2021 at 02:00PM The pop stars and actors we idolize as kids have a huge influence on our grown-up sense of style. They model confidence and character, and show us that we have the power to create our own unique looks—no matter who we are or where we come from. We connected with three Canadian LGBTQ2S+ creatives to discuss how their style icons informed who they are (and how they wear their hair) today.
