When Beckerman sisters Caillianne, Samantha, and Chloe dreamt of becoming fashion designers, they were still little girls living in Toronto, trading sketches of dresses in the back of their family's RV. Now in their twenties, the Beckerman sisters attended the same fashion design school in New York, Cailli majoring in Knitwear design, Sam in accessories, and Chloe in surface and textile design. While the sisters have won praise from their school and New York fashion houses, the real challenge has been the creation of their label, Beckerman, as they stake their claim in the $298 billion US fashion industry.
