Nancy Perreault born and raised in Vancouver started sewing at 6 years old with both her mother and auntie. At 9 years old, after watching a documentary on the Punk Rock scene, she instantly became enamored with music and fashion and how the marriage of these two enabled people to express themselves.
After high school graduation, while working various jobs, Nancy experimented with making clothes for herself. Her designs attracted attention and before she knew it, she was designing for others. She put two and two together and saw her love of fashion and music could be an actual business, which she was driven to establish.
Nancy got her first start with her Obsidian clothing line in 1997. From Obsidian, she developed into Nancy Black, where she specialized in Avant Garde, fashion forward designs. While Nancy still loves the music/fashion connection, the Avant Garde and "wearable art," life changes guided her towards new layers of creativity.
Entering 2010 spurred by change and growth while being inspired by the creative reminder of her family's Acadian roots. The fleur-de-lis, a French symbol representing the union of mind, body and soul, influenced her creativity as it connects both her family's heritage as well with Nancy’s vision for fashion. Designs that infused her collections with a lighter, brighter twist while still remaining inspired by a by classic cuts blended with modern glamour. It is that fusion that sets Nancy Perreault apart from the rest.
