Josette Cacnio Clothing Designer is heading Camp E Style this summer.

Josette Cacnio is a clothing designer based out of Hamilton, Ontario. 

Josette creates one of a kind clothing as well as custom clothing that gives people elevated confidence and a new sense of self. With that said, a signature piece wouldn't be complete if it didn't make you feel great!!! 

Josette continues to push the envelope in designing and crafting stylish originals by taking cues from current trends, street style and drawing inspiration from virtually everything. Although mainly focused on young women, she provides custom work in which her unbiased talents easily transcend gender, age and culture. 

A self-taught seamstress by the age of 10, it was both her love for sketching/painting and experimentation with fabric that naturally set the foundation for her future self-titled independent fashion label. In 2005, Josette graduated from The International Academy of Design-Toronto with a diploma in Fashion Design and has been working her label full-time ever since. 

To this day, she revels in her ability to take intangible visions and bring them to life.
