I like Rachel Sin, because I met her, I wore her clothes, and I get her style. She’s not trying too hard and getting it right every time.
Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong from Greta Constantine. Fresh femmine styles that are accessible. These are clothes that a lot of women can wear and wear easily. Beautiful pieces!

I LOVE Zoran Dobric’s prints. I always look at them thinking “I don’t want to wear that, I want to frame that” How do you think that would go over with him?
Chloe comme Parris – love those girls and the incredible creativity behind each collection they put down the runway every year. They play with both romanticism and androgyny, while maintaining their staple ‘street’ vibe, producing clothing that can transition one into so many different roles.
True artistic minds!
My favorite Canadian Designer is Joeffer Caoc. He graduated from The School of Fashion at Ryerson University (where I am studying now!) and he has somehow found the perfect balance between high fashion and practicality. He always included diversity and I am a huge believer in that as well.

My Favourite Canadian designer is Rachel Sin! I love her dresses! I noticed that she showcases the back a lot! They are so sexy, yet chic looking! The price is great and she is a doll herself! :)
Hope I win!

My Fav Canadian designer is Rachel Sin. Not only a friend (High school class mates) she also a very talented fashion designer. Love her ‘architectural’ look. Love her clothes and style!
I’m a big fan of Travis Taddeo. Every collection of his has a great direction and is executed beautifully. I love how he incorporates a variety of fabrics and materials into his collections: a few seasons ago, he did a lot with feathers and silk, while more recently he’s been working with fur and jersey. I love wearing his clothes not only because I’m supporting a gifted Canadian designer, but because he produces great collections season after season.

I like Greta Constantine’s style. All of it. It encompasses femininity and class in a cosmopolitan city!
Dagg & Stacey! They have been my latest addiction since I bought a shirt from them at Shopgirls.

It’s so hard to pick just one, especially since there are so many great designers under the Homegrown roof, but if I had to pick just one I’d go with Travis Taddeo I’ve been eyeing a few pieces of his in the store lately and this would be the perfect chance to scoop up a piece or two for my summer closet!
My favourite Canadian designer is Lucian Matis! Love the unique prints he brings to his clothing. Beautiful!
Toronto
I’d love a closet filled with just homegrown fashion! These are all fantastic designers – yay Canada! My everyday favourite; however, would have to be Dagg&Stacey. I am a huge fan of the brand. I love how these two lovely ladies have transformed beautiful fabrics into casual, elegant pieces that transition effortlessly from day to night.
Rachel Sin is my favourite Canadian designer. She understands how the female form works and she designs dresses that not only enhance but also flatter a multitude of body types.
I love Joeffer Caoc. He is by far one of the most talented Canadian designers!
~ My favourite designer is Wesley Badanjak! I like his classic styles – my sister and I are huge fans of his work. ~
My wife went to a Lucian Matis show during Fashion Week and fell in love with his style. Very unique style and Ryerson student! Thanks.
The top Canadian designer is David Dixon. Definitely very, very chic. Always super glam.
Greta Constantine are my favourite: very classy and sexy.
