Jeanne Beker
Canadian Journalist, Media Personality and Fashion Icon
Jeanne Beker is a Canadian journalist, media personality, and fashion icon. Her memoir, Heart on My Sleeve (2024), was released through Simon & Schuster Canada to critical acclaim. With a touching forward by Linda Evangelista, Beker delivers uplifting reflections that walk us through a wardrobe of memory, one article of clothing at a time. Over the years, Beker has acted as an arts reporter for CBC Radio, a news anchor on CHUM Radio, a co-host of The NewMusic, a founding member of MuchMusic, and the emblematic host of Fashion Television for 27 years. Beker is also a seasoned newspaper columnist for several publications and has authored six books. A frequent keynote speaker and television guest, she currently hosts the series Style Matters on The Shopping Channel. Beker was named to the Order of Canada (2014) and received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame (2016).
Since her diagnosis in 2022, Beker has been outspoken in her support for cancer research while candidly sharing her personal healing journey with the world. See her cancer awareness campaigns here.
“Jeanne Beker is a legend… an absolute legend. Not just here but all around the world.”
— Elton John
