This article was updated on November 22, 2022.
Perfect cuts, fabulous fabrics, one-of-a-kind style and meticulous craftsmanship—that’s what Québec’s luxury designers offer in their collections, which range from daring to timeless. Here are some of the top brands that bring beauty to La Belle Province.
Québec’s biggest names in fashion
Every city has its fashion gurus, and Montréal is no exception. We love the perfect cuts and classic lines in Philippe Dubuc’s menswear, along with the couture leather, pleated satin or airy silks from Denis Gagnon. For structured volume that’s equal parts nature and technology, there’s Marie Saint-Pierre, while Rad Hourani offers unisex creations and Tavan & Mitto delivers sophisticated, timeless collections. We can’t get enough of Elisa C-Rossow’s serious take on women’s sensuality or the modern femininity offered by UNTTLD.
Recycled fur, leather and luxury jackets
The lumberjack look may not be what you’re after, but when fur and leather are tastefully crafted to create stylish, eco-friendly fashion, that’s a whole other story. For recycled fur, head to Harricana. For vegan and cruelty-free accessories, head to Matt & Nat, who uses linings solely of 100% recycled plastic bottles, or head to Lambert for vegan leather bags for women and men. Minimalist leather bags await at WANT Les Essentiels. And m0851 is the place to go for leather items that run the gamut from soft and worn to etched or patent. Since winter can be crisp in Québec, several local brands combine warmth with style. Find your luxury winter wear at Rudsak, Mackage and Quartz Co.!
Stay ahead of the curve with emerging designers
High-end Québec fashion is slowly stepping out of the shadows and taking its place on centre stage, including top quality leather accessories by ByKilani. Every year in March, trend watchers flock to the Fashion Preview event to catch a glimpse of Montréal’s most innovative creators.
