She has not only brought some major media attention to the event as well as some high profile celebrities, but has also helped elevate many of the designers who participate at Toronto Arts and Fashion Week by gaining important coverage for their work, and helping them to grow and expand their businesses into new markets. She is a driven individual and a joy to work with.”

“A leading force in defining Canadian fashion and style, I had the pleasure of first working with Gail McInnes through The Style Box. With her relentless support and keen business savvy, McInnes has enabled me to build my label from the ground up. Approaching every situation with transparency and honesty McInnes creates an environment where designers are able to grow and learn the tools for a successful career in fashion. It takes round the clock dedication and passion to be co-founder of The Style Box, being the first business model of its kind for Canada. I have been incredibly fortunate and owe a tremendous amount of my success to her unprecedented commitment towards my label development. McInnes is truly a powerhouse individual who is changing the parameters of what we know Canadian fashion to be, and I have a feeling that she is just getting warmed up!”

“During my years working with Gail at B&M Models, I found that Gail always brought a fresh and insightful energy to the Agency. She helped create the new look of the B&M Website (www.bnmmodels.com); especially with the addition of the “In The Loop” section – helping keep models and clients alike, up to date on current happenings in the industry as a whole. Gail also brought the Agency ‘up to speed’ with their inter-office connectivity and communication applications. It was always a pleasure dealing with Gail.”

“I decided to hire Gail to do the promotions for my sale because of her experience and relationships within the fashion industry, as well as her unique approach to marketing and promotions. I knew I could count on Gail to come up with a fresh take on the sale, and make sure that everyone knew about it. Turnout for the event was huge, as there was talk about it all over the city. Gail did a fantastic job getting news about the sale in all the right magazines, newspapers, on-line media, as well as word of mouth. Gail had a very limited time to promote the sale, and she really impressed me with how much she accomplished within that time period. Gail is an extremely creative, hard working, and fun person to do business with. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future, and I’m sure anyone who has the opportunity to do so will also have a wonderful experience.”
