“Every head of hair has an individual texture; a softness or a roughness that defines that person.   We mold our hair into shapes we can identify with, into forms that we can live with. Each form   unique, each shape individual; telling a constant story of who we are, where we’re from, and   what we do. It is raw beauty, individuality, personality, and culture. It is the juxtaposition of   texture and model, shapeless form, and construction and destruction. It is Condes.”

“The concept of The District began in late 2007, originally, and spontaneously, as a creative   outlet fueled by the numbing monotony of suburban mall hair salons. Eventually, the purge of   colour, shape, and asymmetrical line gave birth to what was originally dubbed Toronto Life, a   collection that aimed to capture the evolution and diversity of the urban landscape – within city   trends, style, and innovation separated by age and district. Ultimately, Toronto Life became
  The District, named from the very concept it was based on, and nurtured from the very people   who’ve embraced it.”
