Pierre Cardin & House Of Cardin
Cinéma du Musée: 1379A, rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal
Just in time for tonight’s Vincent d’Amérique runway show “Taillé Pour Le Mouvement” during Festival Mode & Design, here is a mini interview with Michel Grondines, CEO of the company with a little surprise during the show. Head to Quartier des Spectacles at 8pm for the free outdoor show unveiling this collection in association with Georges Saint-Pierre, followed by the after party at Furco at 9:30 p.m.
1) Which piece in the “Made for Movement” collection is your favourite piece?
A black jersey jacket and trouser set with a white tiled pattern, it’s a set that combines character and comfort.
2) And the one we are most likely to see worn by Georges St-Pierre?
All the pieces will be worn by Georges, but one of the pieces that best represents him is a jersey jacket printed tone on tone with a black contrasting hood. This item represents the urban side of the collection…
3) What are the characteristics of the collection in terms of fit and cuts?
All jackets, pants and shirts have fitted cuts, but the stretchy materials allow each garment to have an unrivalled fluidity of movement.
4) What is the essence of the message behind the themes chosen for the new collection?
The prestence for anyone who wants to dress well all by being very comfortable.
5) What Fall/Winter 2019 trends for men would you like to see on the streets?
I would like to see more men dare to mix patterns.
6) There is a trend of women customers shopping in some men’s shops. Have you seen this trend as well? Do you think this will affect the men’s apparel market in general, in addition to unisex lines?
It’s not uncommon to see women shopping through our shirts or pants in stretchy materials in store. I believe that there may be a market to develop. There will be women wearing men’s outfits during our fashion show on August 22nd at the Fashion and Design Festival.

F1 Dress To Kill Fashion Night At The Mansion Party
For its third edition, Dress To Kill magazine hosted a fashionable Pre-Grand Prix party at Mount Stephen Hotel’s refined George Bar with a guest list of creatives that would make your Instagram feed blush. With sponsors such as Johnnie Walker and Aston Martin, counting brands such as Bentley, Jaguar et Land Rover under its wings, picture the herd of luxury cars parked in front of the hotel’s red carpet covering the architectural stairs surrounded with photographers taking pictures of celebrities and guests.
Dress To Kill Magazine’s mission is to highlight and promote voices of avant-garde and visionary artists from the Canadian fashion and cultural worlds. And with its “Neo Rennaissance” theme, DTK wanted to reunite contemporary artists who are redefining the standards and, by extension, the future through fashion, art, literacy and culture. DTK is printed 4 times per year with a focus on special themes per season.
In the Victorian building where Mount Stephen operates, there was a sea of beautiful people dressed to impressed (maybe even to kill it, this one was too easy sorry!). Cari Tauben was animating the Night At The Mansion party with fashion editor Randy Smith styling the scene. Among the attendees: Philippe Dubuc, Stephane Leduc, Markantoine, the mmode crew, Jean-Claude Poitras, Scarlett Saint-James, Oscar Mendoza and Azamit.
Louboutin x Grand Prix
Christian Louboutin released on June 6th 2 very limited edition Louboutin styles. One for women (Flash Kate: 14 pairs) and one for men (Flash Kate: 15 pairs) inspired by Canadian race car drivers.
Races in Fashion History
Let’s rewind to the nineteen hundreds when Jeanne Paquin, the first woman designer in Paris, started sending young models and actresses wearing her designs (with many of them wearing the same design) to races, the opera and other see and be seen happenings to promote her new collections. It is said that the Paris Longchamp race course (the brand we know was named after this hippodrome by its founder Jean Cassegrain) was comparable to a catwalk with different designers sending their models to show off their latest collections. Some extra information: Paquin was also the first woman to be accepted in Haute Couture, she was also the first Parisian couturier to expand internationally. Her savoir faire and marketing techniques grabbed the attention of queens, actresses and ladies from prominent American families such as the Astors, Rockfellers and Vanderbilts.
F1 Boutique in Old Montreal
Located on 28 Saint-Paul East, the F1 Boutique gathers a large selection of men, women and kids clothing and accessories by car brands and Formula 1 teams. It’s a must see and shop if you want to wear the colors of your favorite team during Grand Prix, find some pretty cool specialty clothing items or for souvenir purchases.
