Tara White grew up in rural fields and forests, an hour North of Toronto, Canada. Early on she had an interest in dressing up and fashion, especially vintage clothing. With an innate desire to create using her hands, its no wonder why Tara ended up in the Material Art and Design program at The Ontario College of Art & Design studying Metalsmithing, Textiles, Ceramics and Painting. Her thesis work incorporated several wearable art pieces using unconventional materials. After graduation, Tara happened upon a knit dress shirt at a thrift shop, knowing almost instantly that it was destined to be the first piece in an exploration of dress and identity through fashion. She then combined heaps of passion and 12 years of professional sewing experience into Embody Clothing & Accessories. Tara designs and makes every single piece with her own hands in her studio in Guelph, Ontario.
