Turns out that as an alumni I'm allowed to borrow books from the fabulous library at Sheridan College for a minimal fee on a yearly basis... I've been craving a trip to Acadia to get my hands on some out of print fashion books but with my new library card I've got a wealth of books at my fingertips!! I took out a couple today, The Way We Look and The Vogue Sewing Book. They both look to be crammed with knowledge and I'm feeling uber inspired!
There used to be a fashion design course offered at Sheridan, but it was dropped over 10 years ago. Notable graduates from this program are Dominic Bellissimo, Wayne Clark and Linda Lundstrom. Unfortunately, Linda's company has just gone bankrupt, her company filed a notice of intention to file a proposal under the bankruptcy and insolvency act of Canada on January 31st. It looks like her company is looking for options right now which is good news. It's kinda cool to find out that these people (and lots of other fashion professionals) went through Sheridan, kinda too bad that the program was cut.
