The Fashion & Design Festival (FMD) is back celebrating Montreal’s creativity in downtown Montréal.
We love this event because it truly offers a diverse program, including fashion shows, multidisciplinary shows, live art installations, musical performances, real-time design, amazing conferences, and – let’s not forget – the stylish stiletto race.
Over four days and four nights, some 50 shows will be presented, featuring renowned Canadian designers and leading names in international fashion like Ardene, Le Chateau, Antoine Laoun, La Vie En Rose, and many more.
Aside the amazing daily fashion shows and exhibits, we are most excited about the FMD Conferences which feature a program full of movers-and-shakers that include the largest ever lineup of internationally renowned speakers from the world of fashion and design the FMD has ever delivered.
