Ottawa's fashion community has a reliable champion in CTV News Ottawa's Melissa Lamb, whose style coverage consistently puts the spotlight on what locals are wearing, loving, and shopping for in the capital.
Ottawa Style on the Small Screen
For Ottawa residents who want to stay ahead of seasonal trends without leaving the city, Lamb's CTV News segments offer a grounded, relatable take on fashion that feels genuinely local. Unlike national style coverage that skews toward Toronto or Vancouver, her work zeroes in on what's actually happening in Ottawa — from boutiques in the Glebe and Westboro to the everyday looks spotted along Sparks Street.
Why Local Style Coverage Matters
Ottawa has long been underestimated as a style capital, but that's changing. Independent retailers, local designers, and a growing creative class have been quietly building a fashion identity that's distinctly Ottawa — polished but practical, creative but cold-weather-ready. Coverage like Lamb's helps connect residents with those homegrown options and builds awareness around the city's evolving retail scene.
Keeping It Local
Whether she's highlighting a spring wardrobe refresh, seasonal must-haves, or local business owners putting their own spin on current trends, Lamb's work serves as a useful guide for Ottawans looking to update their look without defaulting to big-box options. It's the kind of style journalism that strengthens community — and gives local businesses a meaningful platform.
