We're trying to do this for technology companies. And as a tech guy with a fashion bent (though John - http://married-inc.com/ one ups me on style), it is incredibly difficult to find interesting Canadian menswear designers (specially those that aren't afraid to use silk, cotton, wool, linen and other natural fabrics). Annie Thompson did a menswear line for one season a couple of years ago (I was fortunate to pick up a sweet pair of pants). Where are this generations John Fluevog? dSquared? I applaud your efforts.

I think many will be grateful to you for putting forth an honest assessment of our industry here in Canada and helping define our "fashion indentity " . I hope you find that things are alot "rosier" than some will admit to. Contrary to what some people think, Montreal is not the center of the fashion manufacturing business in Canada, and many other centers serve specific niches, especially those in the US. Maybe you could talk about the companies that find it easier to change signs out front, to read Importer/Exporter rather than remain producing in Canada. I am so impressed that a recent University graduate sees the importance of focusing on our industry, when our own government and some "federations" that receive funding don't really care all that much for a healthy continuance, especially on the domestic manufacturing side. Kathleen Fasanella has done more for CDN sewn product manufacturing in the past year than our own "politicos" in Ottawa. I hope your coverage brings the same positive outcome as her coverage has. You will soon find out we have a very viable industry in place, which, with smart direction will continue for many many years. This is pretty big topic to undertake.
