    The second edition of C2-MTL (Montreal’s annual creative conference) was abuzz this year with fashion speakers and events. Highlights included a talk with makeup mogul Bobbi Brown and the late night Twelve-ID show that featured the city’s top créateurs: Philippe Dubuc, Marie Saint Pierre, Denis Gagnon, By Thomas, Barilà, Anastasia Lomonova, Harricana, Unttld, Duy, Martin Lim, Nadya Toto and Ying Gao.

    FASHION also attended an interview with larger-than-life Diane von Furstenberg who dazzled a packed room of spectators with her long legs, iconic style and words of empowerment. The latest DVF scoop is that she’s working on a new line of accessories and handbags, writing a book called The Woman I Wanted To Be (expected to hit stores next Mother’s Day), an exhibit in L.A. next year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the wrap dress and a new television show.

    Here are some choice DVF quotes of the day:
