BIO
"There are Canadians that go abroad and work at the forefront of the fashion world and choose to come back and develop the Canadian fashion scene and not give up on it. I am one of those people."
Danio has worked in the fashion capitals of the world for the past 12 years. He has worked as textile designer in association with some of the best-known labels in the world, such as Ungaro and Balenciaga. Danio first studied fashion at the International Academy of Design in Toronto, then moved to Italy to study at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan and The Accademia Italiana in Florence. Danio is a cancer survivor, having recently survived a seven year battle with Leukemia. He is ready to start his own line in Canada and he says that the fashion world sees Canada as the next big market that will grow by leaps and bounds. Danio wants to be at the forefront of the Canadian fashion revolution.
