David Clemmer's diverse background in the fashion and television industry includes experience both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. In a sense it began when he fielded his first fashion crisis over thirty years ago. Four years old and scheduled for his television premiere, he decided that the new button down shirt that his mother had laid out for him was just not the casual look he was going for. It wasn't until four outfit changes later that David, armed with his favourite tee, finally deemed himself ready to win over the Romper Room set.
As a teenager, David continued to flirt with the fashion scene by modeling to put himself through Business School. After university, Signatures Modeling School and Agency was a perfect outlet for David's love for fashion and head for business. In his role as Director, David personally prepared Signature models for Canadian and International markets, and had final approval on their wardrobe, hair and makeup, and overall image. David also learned the value of "wrinkle free" which he put to good use when traveling to fashion shows, designer functions and special events in New York, Paris, London and many other parts of the world. For three of its five years with David at the helm, Signatures was awarded the Modeling Association of Canada's "Canadian Modeling School of the Year" award.
David is now in his sixth year as co-principal (and co-founder) of Judy Inc, an artist management company representing fashion stylists, hair and makeup artists, and set designers in addition to other talent. Judy artists work in the areas of fashion, television, print advertising campaigns, and movie and celebrity promo. Recent clients include Russell Crowe, Hilary Duff, Avril Lavigne, Catherine Zeta Jones, Cate Blanchett among many others.
Through all of this, David has continued modeling and acting for television. He looks forward to bringing his fashion background to the foreground while working with the Style by Jury team to help women realize their full potential.
