Basing her time between Vancouver, BC, and London, UK, designer Bree Laryea has had a diverse artistic background. With a decade-long career in photography and creative direction - her work has garnered recognition in renowned publications such as Vogue, GQ, Notion, Wonderland, Complex, and Range to name a few. Bree has captured various expressive domains, with a focus on music and fashion, before embarking on a transformative venture into design, culminating in the launch of her brand, BREEFORD, after graduating from Blanche Macdonald in 2024. BREEFORD is a brand that aims to rethink the essence of wearable, functional art through multiple mediums. 

BREEFORD’s inaugural collection brings designer Bree Laryea’s photographic vision to life. This fluid collection represents a blank canvas (middle grey), and the starting point for the brand, while also paying homage to the designer’s hometown of Vancouver. It celebrates the love of living amidst the city’s famously grey yet resilient days, and the slivers of silver linings.

Bree’s passion for functionality, sportswear as performance wear - understated extravagance, and the fusion of various artistic mediums is evident in her designs and custom prints. She is driven by a love for love, and this sentiment permeates her work, creating pieces that are both practical and deeply personal.
