Shernett Swaby is a Fashion Artist who was born in Jamaica, grew up in Canada and is now based in Chicago. She started sewing at age eight, making clothing for her dolls and mending her own. She learned to sew by watching her mother who was a local seamstress.
Since then she has been professionally perfecting her craft. Her mission is to use a detailed oriented collection to promote and celebrate individualism in the fashion industry. Swaby’s work is edgy with a wearable artistic flair.
Her work has been featured in local and international magazines and she was a top 5 finalist on PROJECT RUNWAY, the television series.
Shernett opened her first boutique inToronto in 1999. Her Chicago boutique opened in 2009.
