A dragon's guide to offi ce fashion
Women are judged far more often
than men on their appearance,
says David Chilton.
The television "dragon" (from
CBC's Dragon's Den) and fi nan-
cial guru was the keynote speaker
at the APC 2014 conference in
Toronto in April.
"Society is still really sexist,"
he said. "Society judges women
based on what they wear
so much more than men.
People ask about (Dragon's
Den co-star) Arlene (Dickin-
son) wearing the same outfi t
every day. Robert Herjavec
always had the same bright
jacket on and the same
bright pouf (but people don't
ask about that)."
Chilton explained that
each year, the whole season's
episodes are taped over the course
of 20 to 23 days. Then, the seg-
ments are mixed up into shows for
the entire year, each one featuring
three or four segments.
That means the dragons have
to wear the same clothes for all
of the tapings, or look as though
they'd changed clothes after each
pitch.
When people ask Chilton
why Arlene "never changes her
clothes," he said he sometimes
deadpans, "I don't know. Some-
times she smells."
