Our very first PAPER WOMEN feature comes to you from a very special place in our heart.
Meet: Claire.
We have had the honour of knowing Claire for the past 5 years as she has been an integral part of the PAPER LABEL community. Claire began modeling with us in January 2019, and from the first shoot we were drawn in by her magnetic personality and kind-hearted spirit. We continued to work with Claire seasonally for both our website and social.
When selecting models, we aim to select women who not only inspire us but are strong reflections of who makes up the PAPER LABEL community – and that could not be truer than with Claire. She embodies and embraces qualities that we admire.
Claire is the type of person who brings happiness wherever she goes. The energy Claire brought to our shoots was infectious and provided many memorable stories to share.
Today however, we are sharing with you a different story about Claire. Today, we want to highlight Claire's courageous journey as she navigates through chronic pain and health struggles. We believe in the power of community and supporting one another through life's challenges.
Claire has been battling undiagnosed chronic pain for the past 2.5 years, which has significantly impacted her daily life and ability to pursue her dreams and ambitions. Despite following medical advice and exploring alternative treatments, Claire continues to face debilitating symptoms that leave her exhausted and unable to work.
We’re so proud of Claire and her resilience and positive attitude as we continue to be inspired by this powerful woman every day!
