 David Dixon
Born in Toronto, Canada and educated at prestigious Ryerson University, David Dixon enjoys tremendous media acclaim, standing out among his Canadian contemporaries as one of the leaders in fashion design. In 1995, after an apprenticeship with the world-famous Canadian designer Alfred Sung, Dixon established his own label. He started out at the Toronto Fashion Incubator, a highly respected training ground for up-and-coming new designers, and began manufacturing and wholesaling his own line in 1996. Dixon left the Incubator to launch his own Toronto-based design and production studio, but he remains affiliated with them and sits on the Incubator Board as an advisor.  The overriding theme in Dixon’s collection is quiet elegance. He believes that women respond first to colour and texture. Simple and modern silhouettes present the opportunity for him to explore with textiles, creating his own signature fabrics and searching the globe for new fabrications. Dixon’s clothing combines luxury with function and fantasy with sensibility.
 Today, David Dixon’s designs are sold across Canada and in the United States, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Germany, Tokyo and Hong Kong. Dixon possesses a modernist openness towards emerging design, while rejecting the notion of radical change from one fashion trend to another. His innovative designs have won him a following among the elite communities of film and fashion, including: Meg Ryan, Wendy Crewson, Ashley MacIsaac, Holly Cole, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Paul Gross and newcomer, Kristin Booth.
