I have to say, Montreal has really been on the mark over the last couple of years when it comes to fashion and style. As a long time supporter of indie fashion in Canada, I've been noticing a lot of confident new designers launching their fashion-forward clothing companies from this city. Indie trends in fashion are on the upswing, and Montreal fashion designers are at the top of it all! Valerie Dumaine Clothing is a perfect example. Dumaine launched her company in 2004 and it's been an amazing success story that should motivate aspiring fashion designers. Her collections are entirely made in Canada and are now available across Canada and in a few stores in the United States. Indie designers are good to have around-- they're very passionate about what they do. Like Dumaine, many small designers are putting more back into their community by using an artistic approach to the clothing trade, rather than acting as a large profit driven company. I am happy to introduce 10 items from the Valerie Dumaine Fall 2008 line in my slideshow. Enjoy!
