Fashion Phoenix

Synopsis

Creative Todd Lynn makes clothes for rock stars with the help of his grandmother in Smiths Falls Canada, before heading off to London to follow his dream of becoming an international fashion designer.

After studying at the World famous St Martins college of fashion, watched by Alexander McQueen he presents his skills to receive the acclaim of his peers. He is a hit!

Following this, his honed talent and magnetic personality attracts a team of devotees who help him shine in the catwalk spotlights for the likes of Giorgio Armani and associates.

However, from here on the journey is not smooth for Todd but with his team and dark sense of humor to protect him he encounters and conquers many adverse moments, including the recession, to deliver collection after collection of amazing clothes for which he receives unparalleled reviews.

This story is bigger than a fashion, it is about communities and friendship, about overcoming obstacles with comrades to deliver a feel good sense of empowerment to go and get your dream.
