Denis Gagnon

I really like Denis Gagnon and the clothes he creates. I rarely if ever wear high-end clothes but there is something incredibly unique about Denis Gagnon that mesmerizes me everytime I come across his work. In my opinion he falls right into the fast moving pace of international fashion and thankfully Montreal has Gagnon to back itself up.

I clearly remember the Spring-Summer 2010 Montreal Fashion Week I was able to attend thanks to my Facebook Montreal Fashion & Lifestyle Group and was in complete awe when I saw Denis Gagnon's collection on the runway. I really was in awe, and I never am usually. Things just don't strike me, but I fell in love. Here are some pictures of dresses I don't own but hopefully soon enough will be able to get at least one. What I like about this creativity is how he embedded hard zipper textures into a soft and delicate material, from far away the zipper almost look like strings of diamonds.

Fashion & Blogs anyone ?

Hi

My name is Anna and I run a Facebook group called "Montreal Fashion & Lifestyle", in which the last 4 years has accumulated over 15000 members. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a fashion inclined individual with avant-garde perspective over the fashion industry. In fact, I rather let the group run by itself and discover things that other members post. It's much more pleasant this way. The group definitely revolves around Montreal activities but at the same time there's always an international influence that needs to be taken under consideration.

Some of my friends figured I was blogging. However in my opinion, I did not blog once in the last 4 years. I find blogging quite intimidating. I came across them on multiple occasions, the most recent one by a 14 year old blogger named Tavi Gevinson. Now that is one of the reason why I simply could never be a Tavi Gevinson. I just don't get it like that. So here's my way of keeping it real in the blogging industry, one step at a time, whenever I feel like it. 

Nonetheless, I did find a few very interesting and down-to-earth Montreal blogging websites that are quite more appealing to read. 

Blog 1 

Guide Noo Montreal; a very interesting blog written by a few bloggers involved in the fashion industry. This one is my favourite. 

Blog 2

Catherine Genest; a journalisme student at Cégep de Jonquière.

Blog 3 
Smile Style; written by a young 12 year old student named Zola describing her own perspective on the Montreal and International fashion industry.

Blog4

Miroir Miroir; this is an interesting blog, this young girl takes pictures of herself in her workplace's bathroom and talks about her outfits. It's not my style, but it's fun and creative. 

If anyone has additional blogs to suggests either from Montreal or elsewhere I would love to hear about it. Like I said, there's a million of them everywhere, so it's not easy to fall upon a god one.

Cheers...
