But his passions lay elsewhere, in fashion design, hair styling and the arts. Against his father\u2019s expectations, Morrison pursued a career in fashion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By his teens, Morrison was already using his mother\u2019s sewing machine to make clothes for women in his neighbourhood and was staging full-scale fashion shows, complete with hair, makeup and live music. In 1960s Georgetown, when fashion shows were major entertainment events, Morrison\u2019s productions featured 25 models <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> his signature show-stopping gowns. \u201cHe did the hair, the makeup, the dresses, he ran the show<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d recalls his daughter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Eloise Morrison. \u201cHe was in the newspapers and whenever anybody mentioned his name, people in the community would know about him.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What set Morrison apart wasn&#8217;t just talent, but his entrepreneurial instinct. He acquired the Miss Guyana franchise before most teens had even picked a career path. He was also designing lavish wedding gowns<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hand<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">beaded, embroidered and elaborate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cThese weren\u2019t amateur gowns,\u201d recalls Bill Newman, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morrison&#8217;s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lifelong friend from high school. \u201cThey were spectacular, couture-level pieces.\u201d His talent led to financial success and stability, so he quit school to focus on his career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was around this time that Morrison met <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19-year-old<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cheryl Kennard. She had just returned to Guyana after spending two years in London, England, attending hairdressing school. Her older sister and cousin modelled for Morrison, and soon, she did too. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kennard<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remembers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morrison<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> being invited to show his designs at prestigious charity events, like Red Cross galas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 1965<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while scouting for Miss Guyana hopefuls, Morrison met Baksh, a soft-spoken young secretary with a striking presence. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saw something special in her. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">onvinc<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> her to model<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he escorted her to the Miss Universe pageant in London, where he designed and styled every look. S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he finished as second runner-up. The two stayed close, even after Baksh stayed in London and went on to marry actor Michael Caine. But Morrison, newly inspired and with a world of ambition, set his sights on Canada.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1969, s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">oon after arriving in Toronto<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s west end<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Morrison enrolled in hairdressing school, but didn\u2019t stay long. Within a couple of weeks, Morrison was given his certificate because he was outperforming his instructors, who were not familiar with styling Black hair.\u00a0 \u201cMorrison was one of those really rare individuals who just knew how to style hair without any teaching, so they gave him his certificate,\u201d says Newman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toronto was receptive to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morrison&#8217;s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> kind of flair.

by<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> George<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at 21 Hazelton Ave. \u201cIt was a one-stop shop,\u201d says Eloise. \u201cYou\u2019d come in and he\u2019d measure you, design your dress, sew it, then do your hair and makeup. You left fully styled by George.\u201d <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many clients who came only wanted to see George, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">despite a full staff at the salon. H<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e became burnt out by the constant demand and long hours<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which led him to join another salon <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 1971<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">focusing on doing hair and creating<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gowns on the side.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Robin Barker\u2019s hair salon in Yorkville, a trendy enclave for Toronto\u2019s elite, he reconnected with Kennard, who had recently moved to Canada and was working at Sherway Gardens. Barker needed a colourist, so Morrison made the call, and Kennard came on board. \u201cGeorge had a huge clientele. He was one of the most talented people I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d Kennard says.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barker remembers those days well. \u201cGeorge was a special part of my salon,\u201d he says. \u201cWe had the first \u2018<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bony &amp; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vory\u2019 clientele in the city. At the time, we didn\u2019t think in terms of Black fashion; we thought in terms of hair fashion.\u201d Barker, who had trained in Detroit under Black hairstylist Sam Orr, created an inclusive space where Morrison thrived.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Six months later, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 1972,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Morrison and Kennard decided to open their own salon. The two <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">started<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hair and Now on Collier <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Street<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, just around the corner from Barker\u2019s. Three stylists from Barker\u2019s left to join them, and the salon was quickly a hit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGeorge and I would work together on press releases for the new season. George was exceptionally talented,\u201d Barker recalls. \u201cIt hurt when he left and took another stylist with him, but there were no hard feelings. Everyone loved George,\u201d he concludes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHair and Now wasn\u2019t just a salon, it was a scene,\u201d says Newman. On any given day, you might walk in and see artists, socialites or musicians. It was the place to be<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> place to come together and a place for community. Morrison had a loyal list of clients<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Newman sa<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ys<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> he would drop by the salon just to hang out<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> never knew who would be in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morrison\u2019s<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chair<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that day. \u201cIt was a social salon,\u201d says Newman. \u201cPeople dropped in just to hang out, even if they didn\u2019t need a haircut. Just to be in George\u2019s orbit.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morrison had a kind of presence that was quiet, composed, almost impossibly serene. Kennard remembers studying him as he worked: \u201cHe never seemed stressed. He was calm and a real master to learn from<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d she says. \u201cI learned just by watching him.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evenings at the salon were lively. Tuesdays and Thursdays turned into impromptu parties with wine, gossip and laughter. More than once, those nights ended on a disco dance floor. \u201cThose were some of the best years,\u201d Kennard reflects. \u201cWe had a really successful <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-year run.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then one day, Morrison decided it was time for a new chapter. He moved to Raffaello\u2019s, another family-owned Yorkville institution, where he stayed until \u201cretirement,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">around 2015<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But in truth, Morrison never really retired. Hair was more than a job. It was his art, his language and way of moving through the world<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nd it never let him go.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66b822b6 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66b822b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1138\" src=\"https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-1536x1138.jpg\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536 wp-image-18361\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-1536x1138.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-1024x759.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-768x569.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-370x274.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-840x622.jpg 840w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced-410x304.jpg 410w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/kd-lang-and-George-Morrison-2-enhanced.jpg 1606w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">k.d. lang and George Morrison \n[Worn photo - digitally enhanced by BFC]<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5fd375e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"5fd375e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1b3b342e sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"1b3b342e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2cd87e7f elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2cd87e7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039;

In Georgetown, Eloise explains, society <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">was<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> shaped more by class than by race, where community status mattered more than skin tone. \u201cAt his fashion shows, my father welcomed women of all ethnic backgrounds to walk his runways,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIt was about beauty, presence and confidence, not colour.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But arriving in Toronto, for all its cosmopolitan sparkle in the late 1960s, brought a jarring reality check. Morrison\u2019s salon on Hazelton <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ave<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was located in the heart of Yorkville\u2019s predominantly white enclave. The racism was blatant, and the unspoken rules of who belonged where hit hard. \u201cIt was a challenge for him,\u201d says Eloise. \u201cWe had real conversations about race, about what it meant to be a Black man working in that part of the city. But because of who he was, he made space for himself.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Morrison wasn\u2019t one to shrink in the face of exclusion, and he broke into spaces that weren\u2019t normally open to him. In 1971, he became the first Black man invited to the exclusive Granite Club, one of Toronto\u2019s most elite private social clubs. The event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> part dinner, part fashion salon<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> featured tastemakers like Chatelaine editor Doris Anderson and modelling agency founder Eleanor Fulcher. Morrison, looking elegant and unbothered, was photographed mingling among the city&#8217;s social elite. The racially symbolic and stylish moment was captured in a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Toronto Life<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> article that still feels groundbreaking.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ee500f sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ee500f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"George at Granite Club\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjE2ODM4IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2JsYWNrZmFzaGlvbmNhbmFkYS5jYVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzJcLzIwMjVcLzA3XC9HZW9yZ2UtYXQtR3Jhbml0ZS1DbHViLTEuanBnIn0%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"George at Granite Club\" data-rl_caption=\"George at Granite Club\" title=\"George at Granite Club\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1362\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-1362x1536.jpg\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536 wp-image-16838\" alt=\"Black-and-white photo of three people at a table during a fashion event in Toronto.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-1362x1536.jpg 1362w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-908x1024.jpg 908w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-768x866.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-370x417.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-840x947.jpg 840w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1-410x462.jpg 410w, https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/George-at-Granite-Club-1.jpg 1435w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1362px) 100vw, 1362px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">George at Granite Club<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f4068a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"f4068a3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c5d46f5 sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"c5d46f5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bbfeaf sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4bbfeaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Influence and Legacy<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79a8e5e sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79a8e5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Morrison\u2019s influence wasn\u2019t limited to Canada; his name carried weight across borders. During his Hair and Now years, Morrison and his business partner Cheryl Kennard were invited to Los Angeles by a prominent Black hairstylist who had developed a new straightening system specifically for black hair. The invitation was a sign of respect.<\/p><p>Word of Morrison\u2019s artistry had travelled, and in L.A., American stylists knew exactly who he was. People wanted to meet him, to entertain him. Whether in Georgetown, London, Yorkville, or Los Angeles, Morrison stood out not just because of his talent, but because he carried himself like someone who knew exactly who he was.<\/p><p>With Carole Adriaans, Morrison had two children, Orson and Eloise. At home, he was the opposite of a diva. \u201cHe never raised his voice,\u201d Eloise recalls. \u201cEverything was a conversation. He taught us to be open, nonjudgmental, and to really see people for who they are.\u201d \u00a0He made her prom dress by hand, cut her hair and showed his love through quiet acts of care.<\/p><p>After he and Adriaans divorced, Morrison came out as gay, a decision he embraced with grace and courage. He didn\u2019t make a grand announcement, nor did he apologize. He simply chose to live as he was, authentically and without shame, and it inspired those closest to him.<\/p><p>When he wasn\u2019t behind a chair or a sewing machine, Morrison could be found in his garden or hosting legendary dinner parties at his High Park home with his partner, Dave Belton. One such gathering featured an entire roast pig, chopped into manageable pieces to fit in his oven, of course. \u201cThat was George,\u201d recalls Bill Newman. \u201cElegant, extravagant, and always up for a challenge.\u201d<\/p><p>Even as he grew older, Morrison never stopped creating. He wrote a memoir, <em>Bear No Malice<\/em>, about his life in Guyana and his complicated relationship with his father, editing it right up until his passing.<\/p><p>Kennard still misses their daily phone calls, long after their salon days have ended. \u201cHe was someone you just wanted to talk to,\u201d she says. Morrison had a gift for conversation, for real connection, and many of his clients became lifelong friends.<\/p><p>A true architect of glamour, he styled the likes of Patti LaBelle, k.d. lang, and Anne Murray, and helped launch a young Shakira Baksh, the future Lady Caine, on her path to the Miss Universe stage.<\/p><p>Morrison passed away on November 24, 2020, at the age of 75, leaving a pioneering career and a chapter in Canadian fashion and beauty history. In an era when few Black stylists were granted visibility in upscale circles, Morrison built his own platform, shaping not just hairstyles but representation in Toronto\u2019s fashion and salon scenes.<\/p><p>His story is not just a personal legacy, but also an important part of the history of Black excellence in Canada\u2019s fashion and beauty industry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
