Lucy told me about your conversation with Zara, and so you made me cry again.

I can’t thank you enough for your positive feedback about Lucy.

Whenever I speak of you or Haute Couture it is always in the highest regard. You are an amazing woman, teacher and business owner.

I’m so happy we found you and your school!

Joanne,

You have played a significant role in my life the past two years. I cannot thank you enough for your encouraging words and motivational ways. The skills you have taught me will help me through my future endeavors. I am grateful for this opportunity of being part of this show and extremely proud to be one of your students. I would like to further thank you for helping and guiding me in the right direction with my Ryerson portfolio. I regards to my acceptance… I cannot thank you enough.

Joanne, I hope to continue to visit you and seek approval and assistance. You have taught me so much in two years. Most importantly, to dive into the impossible and explore originality.

I wish you luck in the future with the school. You really make children’s and young adult’s dreams come true!

Congratulations and thank you!

Andrea

Hi Joanne,

I am just viewing the photos of the show. Finally, getting to see them. I can’t tell you how overwhelming it is to see these photos. I am so emotional that I can feel the tears coming. To see my little girl showing such confidence, and wearing all her beautiful creations that she has worked so many hours on, being displayed. I just can’t express the joy and how proud I am feeling. I am so grateful to you and the other teachers for helping her to develop this talent. I’ve had the opportunity to speak to some of your students and they are such a great group of girls.

As a mom too — you know what it’s all about (sniff, sniff).

Dear Joanne,

You have provided me with so many things: a great work opportunity, an amazing friendship, invaluable advice, and one hell of an experience! I just want to take an opportunity to tell you how thankful I/we are. You and your family, mean so much to me and if you ever need anything, I’m there for you…You’ve gone out of your way to do stuff for us…and I will always be in debt to you for that. Everyone who can call you their friend is truly blessed!

Love always & forever,

Jennie (and Alex)

I know Alexis is looking forward to the fall session, where she “wants to make a lot of outfits”!!!

Enjoy a well-deserved rest!

Joanne,

I pray that your (birth) day will be a time for you to look back at the many lives you have touched (including mine) and many more to come. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. You are truly a blessing!

Love, Jillian

Joanne,

I can’t thank you enough for all you have done. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this fashion class without your help.

Thank you!

Joanne,
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. You’ve always been supportive of me and are always willing to offer help! You are such a great friend and mentor, that I don’t think I could live without you!
Love you always,

Hi Joanne,

I just wanted to send an email saying thank you for everything from the past year and a half! Everything you have taught me not only in fashion but about myself as well. I would not have been able to be on the next step of my dream and going to Ryerson if it wasn’t for what you and both Ashley and Jillian have taught me and I want to thank you for that!

I will be back to visit 🙂

Thank you once again,

I.H.

Hi Joanne,

First I would like to thank you for keeping Ilona’s dream alive and pushing and molding her to where she needed to be. As a parent, I am so proud of how much she has grown in the creativity side, so thank you to you and to the rest of your team for this.

Thank you once again.

Hi Joanne,

I just was looking though the fashion show pictures from a few months ago! I miss it so much!! I wanted to thank you for everything you did and all that you taught me, I’m excelling in my academics (at Ryerson University) because of you, and loving the program! I mean some projects were definitely a challenge, but super fun and I love what I’m doing which is the most important thing anyways!!!

Over the Christmas break we have a month off, so I’d love to come and visit you, Ashley, Jill, Rose and everyone else, and to see how this year’s portfolios are coming along.

Well time to go back to more homework! hahaha!

Thanks again for everything, Joanne. You are an amazing instructor and teacher!

Love you lots 🙂

I’m very grateful that I found you for my children to learn.

Thank you so much.

Once again, I love your facility, very CLASSY and Professional, you put all these Wedding Stores and so called Fashion Schools to SHAME!!!!!
