Cynthia Chang-Christison | Calgary’s Best Dressed 2025


How would you describe your personal style?
My style is all about contrast. Iâm always mixing things â feminine and masculine, streetwear and high fashion, soft lines with sharp structure. Iâm drawn to bold eyewear, strong shapes and pieces that mean something, whether thatâs cultural, personal, or handmade. I donât follow trends, though I do appreciate them. My style is always evolving, but itâs grounded in who I am and what I care about.
Why is expressing your personal style important to you?
Because, for a long time, I didnât feel like I could. I grew up in a small town, shy and self-conscious â over six feet tall since I was 15, and Chinese in a mostly white community. All I wanted was to blend in. In my 20s, my closet was made up entirely of black knits. I dressed to disappear. But, becoming a mother to two half-Chinese boys changed how I see myself â because I want them to grow up proud of who they are, and to see that confidence reflected in me. Now, style is how I show up. It reflects my values, my culture and my perspective. Itâs how I tell people who I am â without having to say a word.
