Marie Saint Pierre

The fabulous entrance of the Marie Saint Pierre studio.

A Rare Treat - Marie Saint Pierre

During MFW this season the buyers and press were treated to a soirée
at the studio of the iconic Quebec designer, Marie Saint Pierre. I'm
in fashion glory.

I See Red

I think red might be a colour to have for next spring summer. The David
Dixon finale at MFW.

David Dixon SS11

Patiently waiting for the show to start!

The crowd and David Dixon (in the bg) after Dixon shows a new

Montreal Fashion Week SS11

Oh my!! This is what fashion weeks are all about. Helmer SS11

Helmer's Last Show

Saying goodbye in style! What other way is there?! Helmer does it
perfectly with Flower Power! We secretly hope he crops up again
somewhere.

Second Denim @ Montreal Fashion Week

Fantastic show by 2nd Denim. All the models did yoga in their jeans on
the runway!! You know they are good when you can do this in them!

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!

MFW

Yes, very excited to be off to Canada's Fashion Capitol after watching amazing Canadians all week at theOlympics. We really are GOLDEN!! I am very proud and patriotic to carry 80% Canadian Designer Clothing, Shoes & Accessories at Aria Boutique. Watch for some beautiful posts. I'm sure I will have something to report!

The excitement of Montréal flair is in the air once again as the world’s fashion-savvy spring ahead and tick off March 1 to 4, 2010 - when Canada’s most influential designers and international leading design participants will set up shop at the Bonsecours Market in Old Montreal to flaunt their finest for the 18th edition of Montréal Fashion Week (MFW18) in collaboration with P&G Beauty.


Fashion Week is proud to turn the spotlight on Canada’s fashion capital and the creativity of the designers who call it home, positioning the city as a major contributor and host to the fashion world. Building on the unprecedented success of MFW 17, this 18th edition promises to be more exhilarating than ever. Based on the many foreign partnerships developed with Paris, Berlin, Milan and Tokyo, now more than ever we can consider Montreal the fashion capital.
