Learn more about Tiffini Truth’s transition from being a model/performance artist to helping women achieve their personal style transformations online

Tiffini Truth is a fashion stylist and model who styled her first look for school at the age of 4. The rest is a long history of experiences in and out of the fashion industry. Born in Toronto, Tiffini was raised between the USA, NYC, Trinidad, and Canada before the age of 8. Moving frequently exposed her to different cultures and styles. After living internationally, she spent her teenage years on a Quarter Horse Ranch in Southern Alberta. It was while living in relative isolation on the ranch that Tiffini began painting, drawing, hand-sewing clothing, and playing music.

This passion for fashion led her to her first job as a retail associate for brands like BCBG, Buffalo Jeans, Danier Leather, and privately owned boutiques from 18 – 21. Her creative expression led her into the entertainment industry, where she was discovered as Pin Up model at age 23 via her MySpace profile while working in retail. After making connections in Los Angeles she began working with celebrities and fashion brands as an international fashion & pin up model.

She was published in various publications such as Inked, Urban Ink, Hot Rod, The Horse, Playboy, Skin Two, Bizarre & Metal Hammer magazine. She also walked runways for major fashion brands in the mid 2000s such as Von Dutch & Ed Hardy while also working with independent fashion designers between LA, Mexico, and NYC.

After modeling, she transformed her artistic expression into a specialty performance art act in 2010. She was recognized by major media outlets for her death-defying stunt work in this act. Using metal strapped to her body and power tools, she composed and performed industrial music while touring internationally. This required Pyrotechnic training and Circus Training for Contortion in Vancouver, Hollywood North.

After several years of performing live, the threat of stunt work injuries became a reality when she almost lost her middle finger on stage while headlining a tour in Atlanta, Georgia, using an angle grinder in 2012. She decided to transfer her artistic expression into Abstract Visual Art and practiced this for several years, curating a solo artist exhibition.

In present day, Tiffini is based in Calgary, Alberta. Her goal and vision is to bring a new aesthetic to Canada through her unique understanding of fashion at large, paired with her ability to create her own style and support others on their personal style journey. As a child, she was never able to have new clothing and was taken to thrift stores for school clothes. That thrifting mindset stayed with her into adulthood, and she now often pairs true vintage, mint-condition thrift store finds with modern and luxury designers.

Her focus is on personal fashion styling services as well as sharing weekly “how to get the look” videos. She also creates editorial-style, self-directed and self-shot fashion photography, combining all the things she learned as a model on set into self-directed concepts that highlight fashion and aesthetics.
