Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s move to Canada could boost its $30.6-billion fashion industry, experts say, by putting the spotlight on local brands.
Canada’s fashion industry has slowed recently. Retail sales of clothing and accessories fell 2.1 per cent in 2017 to $30.6-billion compared with an increase of 6.7 per cent in the retail sector as a whole, industry data showed.In 2017, Meghan wore a white wrap coat from Line the Label, a Toronto-based designer, in her first public appearance after her engagement to Harry. It quickly sold out – and the surge in interest crashed the label’s website in some parts of the world.
Meghan has shown an affinity for highlighting more local, independent brands, said Gail McInnes, owner of Magnet Creative Management, a Toronto-based fashion management company.This preference may favor Canada’s fashion industry, which tends to use small production teams made up of locally hired staff.
