FAREWELL TO A FASHION ICON

As we've all come to know by now, Bell has suspended Fashion Television production after 27 years at the forefront of the Canadian industry. Fashion Television, in it's prime, was the source on fashion that catapulted young designers as well as solidified their progressive growth under the iconic presence of it's figurative Queen, Jeanne Beker. Beker, who has been an active part of the evolving industry since 1985, was more than a figure head for the brand, she was a voice for the Canadian market. Beker's influence easily shed famed light on emerging Toronto artists that forever changed their career and, almost single-handedly, forced the fashion world to look back at Toronto's growing potential. Our Fashion Week is now the second largest fashion event in North America and it is largely in thanks to this woman's tireless work. Jeanne Beker, although moving on from Fashion Television and it's legacy, is planning to continue her influential work in the industry through new projects under Bell in the future.
