why do Canadian fashion labels suck?

Canada has a decent retail scene (komakino, roden gray, nomad, tnt , reborn etc), however most Canadian labels suck.

Outside of W+H, we got crap like dsquared.

I see alot of similarities between Canada and Australia yet their brands are lightyears ahead of ours.

wtf

yeah he's from montreal.

Yeah the shit blew my mind when i first saw it at reborn, makes it even more likeable that its from Canada.

PUNK thanks for the info too, might just have to check them out.

I like the Naked + Famous product, good cheap denim, but the branding is really shit. and the denim has a very specificly rough and odd feeling to it as well.

you have to register all your firearms with the federal government even after you get your license. one of mine is older and has no serial, so they sent me a sticker to place on it which promptly fell off. i'm now a criminal. you would hate it here.

that's too funny

We're getting in some styles for Fall, but it's going to be even heavier denim – 21 oz. if I recall. Honestly, it's pretty good, sturdy material and the construction is pretty good. The price point is also rather low.

lets be honest with ourselves here, Canadian anything, whether it be fashion, music, the fucking CFL or any other domestic enterprise has only suceeded within Canada

On a global scale Canada has failed to establish an identity for itself and has come to grips with that over the last little bit

Having the benefit of living in the US and being overseas has really allowed me to see how insignificant Canada is to the rest of the world

Jeremy Lang is a good Canadian designer (womenz only tho). I think there are probably some other decent womenz designers. I would guess that the lack of good men's wear stems from lack of need.

Nobody in Canadialand wants to look steezy? Would explain a lot. (5)

canada has a tiny market and little to no resources in terms of the fashion industry. People leave because it is simply easier to establish yourself in other countries. That pretty much sums it up.

Respect to those who stay though, knowing its going to be tough to make it.
