THE IDEA

It is from this idea that Gabrielle Ferland, its founder, began to activate and expand her network in the fashion industry. Determined to bring together the community of fashion lovers, she surrounds herself gradually with talents and complementary experts, all convinced by the quality of local know-how and its potential for success.
