✨ Meet our next magazine featured alum - Shannon Savage ✨

She grew up noticing something no one else seemed to question: women’s athletic wear wasn’t designed for women like her - small, athletic, and, you know, a girl.

That observation shaped Shannon Savage’s path from a small-town athlete to a designer helping redefine an industry. At KPU, she found a fashion program known for its rigour and real‑world focus, gaining the technical foundation and industry insight that would carry her into a pivotal role during lululemon’s global rise.

In 2017, she co‑founded Left on Friday, built on a simple idea: performance and style for real, active women shouldn’t be a compromise.

That vision reached its peak when Canada’s Olympic beach volleyball team competed in Paris wearing her designs.
From spotting a gap to building a globally recognized brand, her work proves that the strongest ideas don’t just enter industries, they reshape them.
