Guest Speaker!

I'm pleased to announce that Leslie Wu, the editor of the Canadian trade pubications Style and Canadian Jeweller, will be visiting out class after the quiz on Tuesday, December 5. She's a senior, savvy fashion journalist, so think of some great questions to ask her about what fashion journalism is really about!

Hi Sarah, just a reminder if you could bring the cashmere cd to class next week so I can return it to my friend. Thanks so much.

Cashmere Couture write up

This past September, second-year George Brown student Nancy Hoang, 20, proved that bathroom tissue isn't only a household product by winning the White Cashmere Student Design Competition (outfit pictured left). With 3 colleges participating, more than 100 hopeful student designers experimented with Cashmere toilet paper in hopes of creating a runway ready outfit, and to win a substantial cash prize. Because of George Brown's fashion masterminds, our peers rounded out the top 8 with 4 finalists. The other finalists were (their outfits pictured left to right) Caroline Rosenberg, Steph Paczay and Stephanie Kidd, who's hard work won't go unnoticed as it also demonstrates a considerable amount of innovative talent.
