Dunn, originally from Vancouver who later moved to Deep River, Ontario, seeks garments with historical resonance and emotional depth, preferring pieces from the 1920s-1930s, medieval styles, and Art Nouveau influences. She values materials like silk and satin and looks for items with intricate craftsmanship and personal narratives.
