About Our Guest: 

Wassim is a Lebanese-Canadian men’s fashion designer and retailer who specializes in dealing with athletes, celebrities, and business professionals across the Greater Toronto Area. He developed his passion for fashion as an 8-year-old in his father’s clothing stores in Pickering Town Centre. Wassim would often assist his father with small tasks around the stores, like counting inventory, which sparked a lifelong interest in clothing. After completing high school in Lebanon, Wassim returned to Canada to study business and finance at Ryerson University. It was during this time that he began his career in the fashion industry, first with Tip Top Tailors and then with Harry Rosen. 

After 5 years at Harry Rosen, Wassim began his first independent venture, Cloth Talk, in Port Credit, offering both ready-to-wear and custom pieces. Wassim’s latest venture is Noahdonis, named after his two boys, which focuses exclusively on custom-made clothing. Never one to be content with the status quo, Wassim is a visionary hoping to elevate fashion in the city. 

Wassim is also incredibly passionate about basketball, which he began playing as a 12-year-old and still enjoys to this day. He spends a great deal of his time away from work training and coaching kids from grade 4 to 7 in basketball and hopes to stay as close as possible in the years to come.
