Sample Sale: La Grande Braderie de Mode Québécoise
A fashion lover's dream!
If you are at all interested in Quebec fashion and its designers, attending La Grande Braderie de Mode Québécoise is the place to start. The semi-annual event brings together 35 to 40 Montreal-based fashion designers and companies to sell surplus inventory or one-of-a-kind samples that were never reproduced. Normally, the event runs for three days and follows Montreal Fashion Week. And to top it off, clothing is normally marked down by 50 to 80%! Can you say Christmas Shopping!
Montreal Fahsion Week
Montréal’s Fashion Week (put on by Sensation Mode) is coming up March 2nd – 5th 2009. As with any Fashion week it draws buyers from all around the world to experience the fashion and style of the hosting city.
One of the showcasing designers that really caught my eye was Soia & Kyo, an outerwear company based in Montreal. I visited there very cute and interactive site (www.soiakyo.com) and instantly fell in love with there jackets and coats. Known for there detailing, over-sized buttons and out of the ordinary styling, Soia and Kyo are definitely a brand to look out for.
You can still get last minute tickets by going to Marche Bonsecours (In Old Montreal where the show is being held) between March 2nd and 5th to get your tickets. Go to www.montrealfashionweek.ca for more details.
