CHRISTIAN DARE, Merchandising Director
Christian Dare spent most of his formative years living and working in several of Canada’s major cultural and fashion centres: Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal (and even a stint in Ottawa and Halifax). This coast-to-coast understanding of Canada allows Christian to understand the localized challenges for designers and offer solutions on how to overcome them.
Christian has worked within fashion retail for over 15 years, where he quickly worked his way up from in-store stylist to national visual merchandising manager. He has worked for the Gap, Club Monaco, Ralph Lauren, H&M and Holt Renfrew. These experiences have informed Christian’s unique and visionary approach to fashion retail.
With all this under his belt, and a Masters in Fashion Branding/Creative Direction, Christian is ready to foster and propel Canadian designers and brands forward.
