George Brown College student Justin Singh wins the Canadian Triumph Inspiration Award competition

Emerging talent on the runway: Graduating Fashion Techniques and Design student Justin Singh (below left with model) is making a splash on runways this spring that may make him a name to watch.


At left is his lingerie design that won the Canadian Triumph Inspiration Award competition recently. At right is his raw silk evening gown festooned with Swarovski crystals that appeared in the college’s annual fashion show. Singh will represent Canada in the international Triumph design competition in London, England in September - going head-to-head with winners from 28 other national winners for a 15,000 Euro prize and seeing one of his produced and marketed by the international lingerie company.  His design, called Sands of Time, he describes as a throwback to the 1850s mixed with present day flair. "When I was doing it I was thinking, what does shape have to do with lingerie? It hit me - the ideal shape of a woman's body is the hourglass shape so I decided to do that.” He's planning a fashion show on Aug. 14 at the Bata Show Museum and then it's off to London.
