A city of design

Known around the world to offer one of the best qualities of life, the city of Montreal proposes a socio-cultural experience like no other and has anyone who stays for some time reminiscing about fond moments.

In 2006,This zealous city filled with emerging artists and talents of all sorts was appointed a UNESCO City of Design.

Today, Montreal is one of the fashion industry’s top cities. It is one of 3 major clothing manufacturing locations alongside Los Angeles and New York.

With several professional-level training centres to choose from, Montreal has European flair and is one of the rare Canadian cities to offer a university level training in fashion.

Made in Montreal

With the advent of globalization, known brands and clothing designers were pressed to design locally and then produce abroad. However, delays in delivery were a recurring issue with outsourced manufacturers. This engendered a return to basics since clothing production is faster when done only a few streets down. This is why we are witnessing a return to local production within the fashion industry.

Reading the market pulse

If Montreal was able to position itself as fashion leader in Canada, it’s because it knew how to read the market pulse, relate to its clientele and adapt with distinguished collections. Known to accurately  size up its market, Montreal bridges European and American trends.
