Designer Boot Camp: Project Runway Canada Returns

from FashionTalks

FashionTalks is heading to the runway! In this special series covering the new season of Project Runway Canada, host Donna Bishop is joined by co-host Sarah Jay—fashion director, sustainability consultant, and former wardrobe stylist for the judges on Season 2—to break down each episode of the new season. In this debut recap, they dive into the symbolism of the denim “Canadian tuxedo” challenge, what it really feels like inside the high-pressure workroom, and why shows like Project Runway are so powerful for inspiring and showcasing Canadian fashion talent. Along the way, they share behind-the-scenes memories, talk about icons like Jeanne Beker, Spencer Badu, Coco Rocha, Jason Wu, and Aurora James. Then, Donna sits down with the episode’s eliminated designer, Naomi Shindak, for an intimate one-on-one conversation. You’ll hear about their creative vision, how it felt to show on the runway under intense time constraints, and what’s next on their fashion journey. It’s a front-row seat to the highs, lows, and lessons from Project Runway Canada—told through the eyes of the people living it.
