Montreal Fashion Week F/W 2011 - Insider Edition

I had the pleasure last Thursday to attend Montreal Fashion Week at Marché Bonsecours in Montreal. Since I managed to score last minute tickets (thanks Marjorie!), I could not attend the sold out shows of headliners Marie St-Pierre and Barilà, but had a great time nonetheless watching the hard work of up and coming designers.


P&G makeup artists were readily available for touch ups or even a makeover. Attached is yours truly minutes after getting out of the makeup chair.

Although Montreal Fashion Week is presented on a much much smaller scale than New York's, the event is rather crowded and may ressemble a stampede during the headlining shows.

Here's a creative display using real models mimicking mannequins that could be viewed in the cocktail area, between shows.

I'm attaching a video of newcomer Melissa Nepton's collection - an event that had the whole city buzzing as soon as the first model walked down the runway.
