Diane Pernet in Montreal: We talk style on film, local designers and more with fashion’s original blogger
Photography by Emilie Gan On the coattails of its debut during Paris Fashion Week, A Shaded View of Fashion Film continued its globetrotting festival tour in Montreal this past weekend. Founded by Paris-based American Diane Pernet—often regarded as the original fashion blogger— the now yearly event held court at Excentris Cinema where an ASVOFF retrospective was screened before both fashion and film industry players.
In between visits with designers Marie Saint Pierre, Denis Gagnon and Duy Nguyen and a shopping break at Les Créateurs, we caught up with Pernet during this Canadian leg of her tour to learn more about the festival and (how could we resist?) to pick the fashion icon’s brain.
