Word from our spokeperson

GENEVIÈVE BORNE, DE NOUVEAU PORTE-PAROLE

Dear festivalgoers, fashionistas and fans of fabulous design,

It is with renewed delight that, for the third time, I have the pleasure of serving as spokesperson for the biggest annual gathering of die-hard trendsetters and followers: the Fashion and Design Festival! This year, more than ever, it’s all about FASHION & DESIGN, since the creative powers behind the event have worked hard to offer you an absolutely exhilarating program where fashion, music, design and art converge and combine in a most unusual way, to present the best our Canadian designers have to offer.    

I hope you are as excited as I am about this event where fashion and design meet you in the street!  The Festival is also an ideal opportunity for us to discover trends that will define the upcoming season and to come up with fashion finds by our talented designers and major labels (in fact, I invite you to drop by the Festival Boutique for a treasure-trove of fashion finds).   

To much delight the Festival grows by year, presenting more fashion, more music, more design discoveries! Speaking of design, the design studio will be introducing names to watch in the fields of urban planning, industrial design and graphic design.   

The Festival is an opportunity for me to spend four days at the heart of my greatest passions: fashion, music, design and shopping!!! 

Come on out: from August 3 to 6, the street is yours!
