Hamilton is quickly becoming a hub for Canadian artistic talent. With its burgeoning arts scene and ever-growing community of creatives, the city is an exciting place to be for anyone interested in fashion.

?There are a number of factors that make Hamilton an ideal location for fashion a week. First and foremost, the city has a wealth of talented designers, many of whom are? from Hamilton.

This year's Hamilton Fashion Week was a celebration of that community.

?It is obvious that there is talent in excess in Canada and there is great potential for growth in the Canadian fashion industry. However, some big steps must be taken if this potential is to be realized. One of the most important things that must be done is to challenge the current perception of Canadian fashion locally. There are many people who believe that Canadian fashion is not on the same level as countries, such as Italy or France. This belief is not completely unfounded but it needs to be challenged. There is incredible fashion talent within Hamilton and other parts of Canada that deserve attention and ultimately a larger platform. In order to achieve growth in the fashion industry, we need to support local talent and give them the opportunity to shine. Events like Hamilton Fashion Week are a step in the right direction and I hope to see more initiatives like this in the future.?
