The Man Himself - Gagnon

I know this is a bit blurry, to say the least, but I had to show you!
Denis Gagnon himself after the show wearing a zipper hood!!  He came all the way down the runway to great his mother, all the while receiving a standing ovation for a chic, powerfully creative show!

Gagnon Zips It Good

Denis Gagnon's Zipper Dress - MFW Fall 2010
Yes, I am serious.  The dress is completely made from beautifully draped zippers.
Only Gagnon!

Thank you Kinza, Ca Va De Soi

Having a great time with friends!
Thanks to Kinza, from one of my most favourite Canadian/Montreal companies, Ca Va De Soi, we are outside Montreal Fashion Week together!
I can't tell you about the dinner at the wine bar and the Barila After Party the nite before, except that we all look pretty good considering!
Thank you so much for everything, Kinza.
You are fantastic and so very talented.

MFW Guide Fantastic!

Marie-Charles, my MFW Guide Fantastic, and I wait outside for the Denis Gagnon show.
It's the last nite of MFW Fall 2010.
I am happy, yet sad.
Denis Gagnon is a great way to end the week.
I will miss Marie-Charles.
All the best, Marie-Charles!
The fashion crowd waits for the next show!

Montreal Fashion Week Fun - Fall 2010

Then the champagne kicked in!

MFW - Champagne - Fashion Television

When in Montreal, do as the Montrealers do....drink champagne, and check out some great Fashion. 
My cohort, Rob King, who everyone called Monsieur Rob.
Is Monsieur Rob with you tonight?  Will Monsieur Rob be coming to the shows with you tonight?
Everyone at MFW took care of us and treated us very well.
Thank you Elyse, Antoine, Marie-Charles & all the organizers at MFW!

Old Guys Can't Take Montreal Fashion Week

The scene outside MFW in between shows!  He is alright...he is just having too much fun.  A fashionisto from way back!  Great energy!  He put on a great show himself.

My VIP Seat!

I want to buy every season like this!  Thank you Quebec!  I know this is corny, but I had to take a photo of my MFW Fall 2010 VIP Chair!

The Last Dress

This one is amazing. The last dress on the runway for Nadya Toto. If
only I could have gotten a back shot. It was fantastically scooped
down to there.

Nadya Toto - MFW Fall 2010

Nadya Toto's Runway from my front row seat. Bright, chic, fantastic.
Just wait til you see it in the store & online. Nadya also just
dressed one of the leads of Twilight for a photo shoot! Everyone
wants to wear Nadya.

Montreal Fashion Week

It was absolutely fantastic to be invited to MFW as a VIP by the
Quebec Government! This is the 1st shot I took as I arrived off the
plane just in time to see one of my favourite Quebec designers, NADYA
TOTO! Thanks to my assistant, Marie Charles, for getting me there on
time.
