The Shopping Channel has announced its seasonal Canadian Designer Week (March 21–25) to inspire the haves and have-nots to support homegrown fashions. Admittedly, we don’t usually care about The Shopping Channel, but the list of designers on this season’s roster caught our eye: Wayne Clark, Lucian Matis, model-cum-designer Monika Schnarre, David Dixon and Brian Bailey (a.k.a. Canada’s Tim Gunn).
From what we can tell, expect Dixon’s famous feminine silhouettes, a bit of shimmer from Schnarre’s sequin option, figure-flattering officewear from Matis and everyday essentials from Bailey and Clarke. We’ll warn you now, though: a lot of it screams run-of-the-mill mom dressing, but as is the case in Canadian fashion, there are sure to be diamonds in the rough.
