Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: In the elegant but competitive world of high fashion, Canadian designers are steadily climbing up the gilt-edged ladder of public acceptance, and recently, international acclaim. Twenty top-flight Canadian Couturiers united in 1954 in a bid to bring Canada into the fashion spotlight hitherto the privileged domain of the "big Four" style setters who dictate fashions from Paris, Rome, London and New York. Above, Montreal's Marie France, whose creations have a romantic flair, works on a ballerina-length gown of Canadian nylon.
