Montreal: La Raffinerie gets nomadic
Julia Vallelunga, the designer behind La Raffinerie (laraffinerie.ca), was inspired by ancient tribal jewellery for her new Nomad collection. I love her use of raw, hand-dyed Indian silk and vintage chains from the 1970s, and it doesn’t hurt that these precious pieces start at only $65.

Montreal designer Andy Thê-Anh shutters his label
News broke yesterday that Montreal designer Andy Thê-Anh‘s four-year-old label is no more.

The sale starts today and is said to be continuing for several months. (The Montreal Mountain Street location closed earlier this fall.) Twenty people will lose their jobs.

Montreal Fashion Week: Peek-a-boo at Coccolily, Paris stripes at Annie 50, and more from day two
By Ashley Joseph
A little rain–or rather, a torrential downpour–couldn’t dampen the spirits of the fashion flock on the second day of Montreal Fashion Week. Many a pair of four-inch heels was broken on St-Paul’s slippery cobblestone streets as the stiletto-clad crowd rushed in to catch Coccolily by Naana Tennachie Yankey.

Montreal: All hands on deck for Philippe Dubuc’s fall collection
There was an unusual gathering yesterday on a massive ship docked at the Alexandra Quay in Montreal’s getting-hipper-by-the-second Old Port. Menswear designer Philippe Dubuc shot his fall campaign here and guests were invited to “jump aboard.”
Some journalists (I wasn’t the only one, was I?) didn’t read the invite carefully, and so gasped (read: freaked out) upon viewing the ladder (steep and tall) that was the only entry point of the unorthodox venue. Not such a big deal in flats, but for me in heels, another story. My friend Georgia, wearing a mini-skirt, was even more taken aback. Sorry G.! Besides the regular Montreal Mode crew, guests included National Post fashion writer Nathalie Atkinson, and local TV celebs, including Virginie Coosa.

Montreal Fashion Week: Andy Thê-Anh layers on the black for his fall collection
Andy Thê-Anh’s “cocktail” show last summer at the Marché Bonsecours was a crowded, on-tip toes affair (thank goodness for platform boots). So his recent presentation for Fall 2010 in the airy atrium space of Excentris was a breath of fresh air. An intimate gathering of thirty or so of Montreal’s fashion editors and bloggers loaded up on appies from next door’s Café Méliès and giggled like little girls after a round (or two) of white wine spritzers.
A hometown prelude to the big production in Toronto at the very end of March, the Montreal-born Vietnamese designer greeted guests as they arrived and then proceeded to emcee his own show while slick-haired models strut out one by one.
