Before New York Fashion Week, my #NYFWSQUAD and I prepare intensely for a rigorous schedule of back-to-back shows, interviews and events. While in Montreal, we find ourselves doing the same thing for Fashion Preview.
“For its 6th edition, Fashion Preview, a showcase of collections designed and manufactured in Canada, reaffirms its unique and innovative identity that will demonstrate the talents of Quebec and Canadian fashion, while contributing to their growth and their expansion through exclusive trade relationships. Fall 2016 will be exciting for fashion designers!” Here’s what everyone is saying:
