Career

In 2009, Sid Neigum graduated with a Diploma in Fashion Design and Apparel Production from Edmonton's MC College.[10] After graduating, he moved to New York City to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology and intern for Yigal Azrouel.[11][12] In March 2011, Neigum presented his first collection at Toronto Fashion Week (also known as World MasterCard Fashion Week). One year after Neigum's first collection, in April 2012, he received the Toronto Fashion Incubator’s New Labels Award,[13] an honour accompanied by a $25,000 cash prize sponsored by Suzanne A. Rogers, free studio space at the Toronto Fashion Incubator for one year, and editorial coverage in Flare Magazine.[14] Upon receiving this Neigum moved from New York to Toronto. In 2014, he won the Mercedes-Benz Start Up Award,[15] which included a $30,000 grant, and mentorships from Fashion Magazine’s editor in chief, Bernadette Morra and IMG Canada's Carolyn Quinn.[16] That same year, Neigum's line was purchased by The Room at The Bay. In February 2015, Neigum won the Swarovski Emerging Talent Award at the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards,[17] which awarded $10,000[18] and mentorships from Natasha Koifman of NKPR Inc and Suzanne Timmins, SVP and fashion director of Hudson's Bay Company and Lord & Taylor. In September 2016, Neigum won the DHL Exported program in London, which awarded him with two fully sponsored fashion shows at London Fashion Week.[19][20] Neigum's work has been featured in Vogue,[21] i-D, [22] Harper's Bazaar,[23] Forbes,[24] V,[25] Vogue Italia,[26] Women's Wear Daily,[27] Fashion Magazine,[9] Elle,[28] and Business of Fashion.[29] His collections are sold at retailers such as YOOX Net-a-Porter Group,[30] Joyce Boutique,[31] Selfridges,[32] La Maison Simons,[33] and Hudsons Bay Company [34]

Reception

Nicholas Mellamphy, former buying director for The Room at The Bay was quoted saying, “Without question Sid Neigum is the most exciting Canadian designer to hit the runway in a long time.”[48] He later went on to say in an interview with Business of Fashion, “Women who are buying into big European brands like Azzedine Alaïa are also buying into Sid's collection. When a consumer has the ability to buy anyone but buys someone new, it shows that the designer has the ability to penetrate the market.”[49]

In March 2016, Maya Singer of Vogue said, "Sid Neigum is one to watch .... he's a designer as interested in creating a wardrobe as he is in indulging an intellectual pursuit."[21]

In December 2016, Vogue named Neigum "One of 16 Designers who won 2016".[50] Going on to say, "Neigum made his London Fashion Week debut in February with an inventive collection of sculptural gowns, camel hair capes, and rumpled jackets based on the golden ratio (1 x 1.618).... Neigum's clothes are conceptual and avant-garde, but they make sense for real life, too."[50]

In April 2018, Forbes said, "Neigum's approach, which reflects his mathematical bent, soon won many fans. As Vogue put it recently, “Neigum's essential passion, as a designer, is for geometry; he's an innovative patternmaker, and his work is premised on a near-religious belief in the beauty and power of the golden ratio, a proportion he diligently works through his clothes.” With fashion lovers eager to buy his designs, Neigum broke $1 million in revenue as a solo entrepreneur."[51]

In March 2019, Vogue noted, "Sid Neigum's latest collection began with Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, a book whose central philosophy revolves around paring things back to find the best path forward. The Canadian designer had read a translated quote from German industrial designer Dieter Rams: “Less, but better.” “It changed my life and kind of became the starting point of this collection,” Neigum said."[52]

gollark: Idea: name an esolang something which is unrepresentable as a wiki page title, Discord message or spoken out loud.
gollark: Zstd 1.1.3 contains a multi-threaded compression API that allows a compression operation to leverage multiple threads. The output from this API is compatible with the Zstandard frame format and doesn't require any special handling on the decompression side. In other words, a compressor can switch to the multi-threaded API and decompressors won't care.
gollark: ???
gollark: Maybe make it `rand % 16` or something so it'll only have an effect rarely, for extra confusion.
gollark: And yet its type system is a thin layer on top of the JS one.
