On March 22, the Fur Council of Canada will present Arthur Mendonça, which the British edition of Vogue describes as a "rising star". He will present his ready-to-wear collection for the first time in Montreal. This Canadian fashion darling has been recognized for his talent since the dazzling launch of his career in 2002.

The event's calendar will also feature a collective fashion show presented by the Centre International de Mode de Montréal (CIMM). The following brands will share the catwalk on this occasion: Begain/BGN & Co., Clau-Phil Design, Colcci, Deep Gear, Esprit, Ginger, Kanabeach, Pure by Iris Setlakwe, Raffinalla by Raffinati, Schott N.Y.C. as well as Soia & Kyo.

In order to produce this important event, Quebec's Ministère du Développement économique, de l'Innovation et de l'Exportation and Ministère des Affaires municipales et des Régions, Industry Canada and the City of Montreal have renewed their support to Montreal Fashion Week. MFW is proud to rely on the renewed sponsorship of MAC Cosmetics and Silhouette.

Montreal Fashion Week began in 2001 with the aim of bringing new styles together in a central location, providing buyers, journalists and other industry fashion professionals with an exceptional showcase along with promoting the importance of Quebec's fashion industry on the international scene.

Montreal Fashion Week was created by Montreal Fashion Network, a non-profit organization set up in 1998 to link associations representing various garment industry sectors. Montreal Fashion Network aims to promote the Quebec fashion industry and to position Montreal as a major and influential Canadian and North American fashion centre.
