During Montréal Fashion Week this past Saturday, LIGNES DE FUITE took over Atelier Textile for ON SHOW, bringing nine independent designers together across three runway presentations. Pictured below, Montréal conceptual project ONCOMMON with No Human Fits A Border, its modular, upcycled collection shaped around migration, movement and belonging; Toronto label Pearletta Designs with PEARLETTA STATION, a darkly romantic take on Toronto subway culture with sculptural tailoring and exaggerated proportions; Valmora with the rounded volumes and gender-fluid silhouettes of Sans forme; and Labelled 7701 with a maximalist mix of rescued textiles, tulle, ribbons, charms and colour.
Louis-Philippe Lavoie went backstage to photograph the BTS chaos.
