FASHION Magazine

On Wednesday evening, I rode the elevator up to Toronto’s the Spoke Club to scope out the fall offerings from Montreal leather goods house Fullum & Holt (fullumandholt.com). If you’re not familiar with the brand, here’s a recap: The company is 113 years old, they have an 80,000 square foot factory in Montreal where they construct all the bags, belts and wallets, overseen by creative director Morgan Lackman. They also make bags for Alexander Wang and have a mini-collection from one of the top names in Canadian fashion, Denis Gagnon.

A great ending to Montreal Fashion Week: Denis Gagnon’s runway show and after-party at the Fullum & Holt factory last Thursday! After regaining consciousness from the hypnotic and impressive fashion show (read all about it on Shirine’s blog), people woke up slowly to tunes mixed by Thomas Von Party while greeting friends and acquaintances on the temporary catwalk that crossed the factory.

The hell with cold! I’m putting on my four-inch heels, my chapka and my fringe skirt for Montreal Fashion Week (March 2 to 5, semainemodemontreal.ca), returning to Marché Bonsecours with a line-up that’s more daring and exciting than ever.
