1964. Trois-Rivières. Clairette Trudel brings in Dior models for her fashion show. A seasoned businesswoman, she was able to convince Maître Christian. The emotion is planted!
“Les intemporelles” was the highlight of the Montreal Fashion & Design Festival on Day 3. A retrospective of pieces by Quebec couturiers from the glorious thirties to the present day.
Suzanne Chabot, director of the Musée du costume et du textile du Québec and storyteller extraordinaire, recounted these dresses to Jeanne Beker, the star of Fashion TV (who was in Montreal to present her ready-to-wear line, EDIT), to the delight of the audience.

Panache combined with audacity. In the ’30s, ’40s, ’50s, ’60s, ’80s and ’90s, words and fashions travelled: silk velvet and duchesse satin, pleated plastron-effect, full faille wrap skirt, three-quarter-sleeve bodice, draped lapel neckline, asymmetrical bias petticoat, tone-on-tone fringe and short, soft-pink wedding dress. Nothing less, nothing less!
The 1939 bride was dressed in a small blue veil, typical of the period. Colpron D’Anjou. Everyone knows the answer: the only judge was the audience. Conquered.
1939. Wedding dress.

Let’s face it: the future of fashion? where no one would dream of looking. In the past, that is. Even the web has no memory.
The thrill continues…
