Ryerson University to launch The Suzanne Rogers Fashion Institute

For Canadian up-and-coming designers mourning the cancellation of Toronto Fashion Week, all is not lost. The launch of The Suzanne Rogers Fashion Institute (SRFI) at Ryerson hopes to create opportunities and support homegrown talent.

The institute, set to begin operation this October, is the first of it’s kind. It will offer fellowships to selected students, providing third and fourth year students as well as recent grads with industry mentorship, master classes and funding to help them succeed at home and abroad.   

Sounds like a major step forward for the Canadian fashion industry.
