In this stylish and deeply thoughtful episode of EmpowerED with Jessica Flynn, we sit down with award-winning Canadian designer Joseph Tassoni—a trailblazer in ethical fashion, inclusivity, and homegrown craftsmanship.

From red carpet couture to pandemic-era PPE, Joseph’s work proves that fashion can be a powerful force for good.

We explore:

👗 How Joseph built a made-in-Canada brand rooted in purpose

🧠 Why he believes design can influence mental health, confidence, and identity

🌍 The importance of sustainability and ethical production in the fashion industry

🎓 His commitment to mentoring the next generation of Canadian designers

📣 Using fashion as a platform for advocacy, diversity, and storytelling

We also dive into his most recent sold-out runway show—where mental health, inclusivity, and body confidence took centre stage—and talk about what’s next for his brand, his advocacy, and his bold vision for Canadian fashion. Whether you're a fashion lover, entrepreneur, or changemaker, this episode is a reminder that what we wear can reflect who we are—and who we want to become.
