“加拿大一直在出口的著名的大衣，设计师品牌等，比以往任何时候都更受世界各地的欢迎，走在前沿！“男装周女装周的制作人Hans Koechling说。 “外衣业每年为加拿大经济贡献约8亿加元，其中包括向全球时装中心出口超过4亿加元。 而我们正是通过男装周女装周展示加拿大这些最有才华的设计师。”
本季，加拿大时尚集团继续将加拿大时尚推向全球聚光灯下，本年度的走秀会通过巴黎Fashion TV（时尚频道）全球播出。全球24小时的时尚频道，拥有来自法国，意大利，日本，巴西和澳大利亚等国家的4亿多观众。
“加拿大的冬季长达数月，所以加拿大设计师在外衣设计领域处于领先地位是绝对有道理的。就像四季如夏的迈阿密时装周是泳装一样，当涉及到外衣和冬季服装的最新创新和趋势时，世界将涌向加拿大。” 加拿大时尚集团的创办人Jeff这样说。在本季时装周上将有36位设计师的品牌走秀展示，两场名人慈善时装秀和两场混合品牌时装秀。慈善环节的款项会捐助给SickKids和Kol Hope儿童基金会以及Easter Seals Canada慈善机构。
加拿大搜罗传媒作为加拿大时尚集团的长期合作伙伴，我们诚挚的欢迎更多的中国设计师加入这个成长中的盛大时装周，加拿大搜罗传媒旗下的《搜罗SOLO》杂志再次成为本季男装周女装周的官方合作媒体。中文实时报道请关注solomag
