Fashion Originators with Stephanie Irwin

#41: Why you should care about the Canadian fashion business with Fashion Talks host Donna Bishop


Listen Later

Donna Bishop is the Canadian fashion journalist behind the Fashion Talks Podcast. Fashion Talks is a Canada-based show (supported by the Canadian Art and Fashion Awards), which features stylists, designers and entrepreneurs, reflecting on how the business shapes our world. Basically if you enjoy this show, then you’ll LOVE hers too!

While Donna is an accomplished fashion journalist, she’s so much more than just a ‘podcaster’. Currently, Donna serves as Director of Programming at the Canadian Art and Fashion Awards, CBC style columnist, entrepreneurship mentor at the Toronto Fashion Incubator, and a board member at fashion group international.

On the episode, Donna fills me in on the Canadian fashion scene, and why it's so much more than JUST stretchy leggings and Canada Goose.
