Tuve el placer de ser parte de la primera edición de The Montreal Men's Fashion Festival - Just For Him
Diseñadores de Montreal como Just Ta Design, Diodati, Wizemen, Théroux y Pascal Labelle presentaron sus últimas creaciones. Además, algunos de los minoristas más activos de la ciudad participan en la moda masculina: Tristan, Tom Tailor, Karv, Jean Paul Forin y XOOS también muestran diseños de esta temporada.
La colección combina el pasado y los tiempos modernos por la reinvención de la camisa de fuerza. El diseñador detrás de la colección de Théroux, Amélie Théroux, transforma el look streetwear. Ella explora la rigidez de texturas y movimientos coaccionados que los pacientes de estas instituciones. La impresión sin terminar en la ropa crea una brecha de un recuerdo del pasado que necesita ser contado. Estamos siendo testigos de la trascendencia de la materialidad limitada que pasa a través de la imaginación colectiva de estos lugares atemporales y misteriosos.

I had the pleasure
to be a part of the first edition of The Montreal Men's Fashion Festival
- Just for Him.
Montreal designers
such as Just Ta Design, Diodati, Wizemen, Théroux and Pascal Labelle presented
their latest creations. In addition, some of the city’s most active retailers
involved in men's fashion: Tristan, Tom Tailor, Karv, Jean Paul Forin and XOOS
also displayed this season’s designs.
The Théroux brand
really captured my attention. The first time I read 'Inspired from psychiatric
asylums of the last century' regarding the concept behind the Théroux
collection, I was curious but mostly surprised. I wondered how modern fashion
can be combined with the psychiatric asylums looks. I understand that this
combination is a big challenge. The main reason I went to see the fashion show
was to discover the Théroux collection.
The collection
combines the past and the modern times by reinventing the straitjacket. The
designer behind the Théroux collection, Amélie Théroux, transforms the
streetwear look. She explores the rigidity of textures and coerced movements
which the patients at these institutions were exposed to. The unfinished
printing on clothing creates a gap of a memory from the past that needs to be
told. We are witnessing the transcendence of the limited materiality that
passes through the collective imagination of these timeless and mysterious
places.
