Voices: A Fashion Podcast

Today's guest is Esther Hemple of Duval. Duval is an up and coming handbag line based out of Edmonton, Alberta. Drawn to design from a young age, Esther knew that fashion was her calling. It wasn't until years later when she landed a job at Holt Renfrew that she discovered a newfound love for handbags. In today's episode, Esther talks about practicality in design, her experiences as a self-taught designer and why it matters that we give back through the things that we create.

Today’s guest is Sarah Murray, the community relations manager for Vancouver Fashion Week. There’s this perceived idea that we have to go beyond our Canadian roots to find success in the fashion industry. Sarah doesn’t believe in that. For the past 20 years, she has cultivated a success career in the fashion industry right at home in Vancouver. Sarah’s connections and ability to recognize talent led her to create, Fashion Capsule, a publicity agency and a platform for her to share her voices as a dress local advocate. Sarah talks about the evolution of the fashion industry within Canada, the power of supporting local, and the future of opportunity for fashion jobs in Vancouver.
