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.

Denis Gagnon, Fall/Winter 2011 missing ...

The fashion show of one of my favourite french-canadian designer was today at 3 pm eastern time at Montreal Fashion week... I haven't been able to see his collection yet so I had to quench my thirst with the upcoming, o so magnificent, collection for S/S 2011...

Look like the Angelinos are missing on something here, no place to buy it here... only in Canada... well seems like I'll have to satisfy myself with my Denis Gagnon for Bedo dress...
