Ever since I was a teenager, I've been a fan of her iconic half hour show, which flourished into its own successful television network in 2001.
She's on a first name basis with the biggest names in fashion, an accomplished author, a fashion designer and, of course, a regular panel judge on Canada's Next Top Model.
Indeed, it's no exaggeration to say that she's an inspiration to all Canadians who have a passion for fashion.

I was lying in bed in my hotel room in the 5th arrondissement watching TV in the middle of the night trying to combat jet lag. Jeannie Beker came on - I had no idea she was that big - they run her show in France, and she was at a restaurant owned by a chef I used to party with when we were 21. The world is so small now.
