Montreal is known for its bagels, its summer festivals, its lattes, and its residents—some of the best-dressed in the world, ranging from minimalist chic to post-punk, athleisure to alternative eco-style. Some of today’s hottest new designers are working and creating in Montreal.
This year, during Fashion Week, Montreal designers are opening their studios, and fashion is taking center stage in the city’s contemporary art scene. It runs from September 21 to 27, 2026, and our schedule is packed to the brim.
We’ve selected free events open to everyone. Fashion is for everyone.
