I think they're playing on the safe side so as not to lose money in their investments however I think at the same time it stuns the growth and their international influence. I always hear them saying that so and so city will be the next fashion capital, but looking at the way they do business I don't see how.

I've noticed that the TO and MTL fashion weeks show less dramatic (which is to say, more wearable) but I never really put two and two together. I wonder if the culture of Cdn fashion is to be more practical (luxe fabrics, beautiful construction but pragmatic re: geographical and climatic constraints)?
