Times have changed, but Jeanne Beker’s days
are as packed today as they were in the 1970s
when she began her storied career. From arts
reporter at the CBC to host of CHUMTelevision’s
The New Music, Jeanne became host of
FashionTelevision in 1985.

A mother of two, Jeanne continues to spend her
days racing from studio to studio, runway to
runway, with never a dull moment in between.
From her clothing collection EDIT, to writing
for Post City Magazine and TheLoop.ca, to
endless guess appearances on TV, a day in the
life of Jeanne Beker is always in style.
