 FLARE“I just keep thinking about the REM song ‘It’s the End of the World as We Know It,’ and it truly is,” says Gail McInnes, the owner and president of brand management firm Magnet Creative and a stalwart in the Canadian fashion industry. “Everything we ever thought we knew about how we conduct business is completely changing.” McInnes predicts a significant dip in clothing purchases related to income loss. |  Business of FashionMeghan 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 favour Canada's fashion industry, which tends to use small production teams made up of locally hired staff. "It's almost like (being) an unofficial Canadian fashion spokesperson," McInnes said. "She's going to impact the lives of so many people by simply wearing a dress." |  Pie Digest MagazineFashion Boss |

Gail is super passionate about supporting local Canadian designers and makers, and we totally agree because shopping local is more important now than ever. In addition to being the owner of fashion agency Magnet Creative Management, McInnes is also co-owner of Stylist Box, which is an exclusive fashion designer showroom where high profile clients can be dressed for events." |  Refinery29“We do need an outlet where the designers come together and the community comes together. It’s not just about going to the shows, but it’s also [what happens] in between the shows. There’s a lot of business deals that happen. There are connections, introductions.” |
