TORONTO, Aug. 26 /CNW/ - It was 1985, and Betsey Johnson, Bob Mackie and Oscar de la Renta were top designers. Monika Schnarre was on the verge of supermodel stardom. Shoulder pads and big hair were de rigueur. Madonna and Princess Di were fast becoming fashionplates, and MIAMI VICE and DYNASTY were arbiters of style. Making sense of it all was a new concept in fashion reporting: Canada's own FASHIONTELEVISION (FT). A quarter of a century later, and now licensed in 140 countries, CTV's FASHIONTELEVISION celebrates 25 historic years as one of the world's longest-running fashion series with the release of a commemorative magazine, a star-studded birthday bash, and the premiere of its 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL, airing Sunday, September 12 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CTV (check local listings).
