Fashion History (2x4)

Air date: Feb 17, 2009

The designers’ creative skills and knowledge of fashion history is put to the test. Working in teams of three, they must create a couture collection inspired by an iconic fashion house. The designers learn that their fabric for this challenge has a history, too. Iman makes a surprise trip to the workroom and shares her experiences of working with the greatest names in fashion. Iconic designer Wayne Clark joins the judging panel to declare a winner and send another designer home. With nearly 30 years of experience in the fashion industry, Wayne Clark has created a brand that is synonymous with glamour and luxury. He studied at Sheridan College and apprenticed with Hardy Amies and Ossie Clark in London, England. Wayne Clark returned to Toronto in the late ’70’s where he began his own collection and the legend was born. Wayne Clark’s gowns are sold around the world and have been worn by celebrities as diverse as Jane Fonda, Cindy Crawford and Vivica A. Fox
