These 10 designers engineer forward-thinking fashions for this fast-paced city.
Being a fashion designer in Calgary is not for the faint of heart. It takes not only the obvious requisite creativity, but also that pioneering spirit so often celebrated in this city. Pioneering because, frankly, this is still relatively undiscovered country when it comes to homegrown fashion. But it won’t be so for long if these 10 designers have anything to say about it.
