This user is interested in The Jedi Order. My ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is.
Hello world. I am a teacher with the Toronto District School Board in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm passionate about photography, travel (I've traveled to 60+ countries), philosophy and Star Wars. By day, I teach Geography and Social sciences to a bunch of amazing kids, and by night I am a budding fiction novelist. I also very much enjoy cooking, and reading (or writing) about unique foods, dishes and recipes.
I also contribute to a few Toronto-based newspapers on the topics of Education and writing, which, accidentally, brought me to Wikipedia. I am fascinated by the "academic dialogue" that happens in the community; and would love to be a part of it.

The oyster dress is a high fashion gown created by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen for his Spring/Summer 2003 collection Irere. McQueen's design is a one-shouldered dress in bias-cut beige silk chiffon with a boned upper body and a full-length skirt consisting of hundreds of individual circles of organza sewn in dense layers to the base fabric, resembling an oyster shell. The dress originated as a reinterpretation of the "shellfish dress" designed by John Galliano in 1987, which McQueen had long admired and sought to emulate. Contemporary critical responses to McQueen's oyster dress were positive and it is considered an iconic piece of McQueen's work. Only two copies are known to exist, one held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and one by media personality Kim Kardashian. McQueen returned to the oyster dress concept several times over his career, most prominently in his Autumn/Winter 2006 collection The Widows of Culloden. (Full article...)
