Wed Jan 21 2026
In this finale episode of FashionTalks, hosts Donna Bishop and Sarah Jay celebrate the incredible achievement of Project Runway Canada's final three designers—Charles, Curtis, and Leeland—as they each present 10-look collections. Charles crafted a love letter to his Vietnamese heritage and family, Curtis explored gender identity in historically-referential designs, and Leeland interwove his Chinese and Scottish heritage with joyful, kitschy exuberance that ultimately captured the judges' hearts and earned him the title of Project Runway Canada Season 3 winner.
With interviews featuring all three finalists, this episode celebrates not just the competition's end but the beginning of bright futures for these accomplished designers. As Toronto's gala season approaches, and with the CAFA awards in April, Donna and Sarah express confidence that the Canadian fashion community will continue to embrace and support all three talents who left everything on the cutting table.
