About the Emerging Menswear Designer Award (EMDA)

In partnership with the TFI, the EMDA was created to discover emerging Canadian menswear designers by giving them a national and international platform to showcase their ready-to-wear menswear collections. For this competition, the five finalists, including 3.Paradis, presented their designs on the runway in front of a crowd of fashionable Torontonians as well as national and international media representatives. The winner was chosen by a jury of professionals from the Canadian fashion industry, including TFI executive director Susan Langdon, The Image Is president Hans Koechling, and renowned Canadian designer David Dixon.
