DAVID LIVINGSTONE

David Livingstone, brilliant mind and icon of fashion journalism, died suddenly of heart failure at home on Thursday, April 20, 2017. Born on Cape Breton Island, schooled at the University of Toronto, David began his career writing about music, but soon brought his wit and wonder to the world of fashion. As a writer for The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Star, fashion and beauty editor of Elm Street and editor-in-chief of The Look and Men’s FASHION, he delighted in originality, whether he was interviewing a Canadian designer or reporting on a runway show in Paris. He demanded excellence from all around him, making us all better for it. David is survived by his daughter Alexandra, his brothers Johnny, Lloyd and Stephen (Sue), two nieces, a nephew and countless friends whom he loved dearly. A visitation will be held at Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., Toronto, on Wednesday, April 26, 2017 from 5 to 7:30 p.m., immediately followed by a memorial service in the chapel. A Celebration of David’s Life will be held in the near future. On-line condolences may be made through www.turnerporter.ca
