Fashion Television is a great way for Canadian designers to get exposure across North America through one of the most popular forms of media. The website specifically features upcoming events, recent industry news and galleries to name a few, which means that the television channel covers all that and more. Fashion Television Channel is Canada’s first and only channel dedicated to the world or art, architecture, photography and design. Though Fashion Television is Canadian, as it is owned by CTV Unlimited and is a division of CTVglobemedia, FT features international designer collections, fashion photo sessions and a look at what’s behind the stories that make up the headlines in the worlds of design and style.
Other outlets for Canadian designers include Project Runway Canada, which is a completion between Canadian designers. The contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and are usually restricted in time, materials, and theme. Their designs are judged and one or more designers are eliminated each week. The ultimate winner received $100,000 to start their own clothing line, an opportunity that was not available before the American version was adapted for Canadian designers.
Additionally, Fashion Week across Canada features Canadian designers, which is another ideal way for Canadians to get their names out there in this huge industry. At Toronto’s most recent fashion week, designers such as David Dixon, Jason Meyers and Katrina Tuttle got to showcase their newest designs in an attempt to get some much-needed exposure for their talent.
Overall, there are not a lot of ways for Canadian designers to get exposure, aside from Fashion Television, Fashion Week and shows like Project Runway Canada. However, as our fashion industry continues to flourish, there will hopefully begin to be more outlets for these creative designers so that their work can be seen on an international level and get the credit it deserves.
