La Black Fashion Week Montreal, une edition hors norme !

June 1 2013 // Magazine // Features

Après Prague en Novembre 2011 et Paris en Decembre 2012, c’est au tour de Montréal d’abriter pour la Black Fashion Week- l’événement de mode organisée par la designer Sénégalaise, Adama N’diaye. Cette cérémonie se déroulera du 16 au 17 Mai à l’église Jean Baptiste. C’est donc dans un décor religieux que la presse a été conviée pour une conférence hier- le 15 Mai 2013. Cette première conférence de presse a commencé avec une cinquante de minutes de retard. Toutefois, sa tenue nous a permis d’éclairer nos lanternes. 

Black Fashion Week, analogie certaine entre Musique et Mode !

Comme promis, la Black Fashion Week a eu lieu à l’eglise Jean-Baptiste, dans un décor religieux. Pour cette première journée de la BFW, nous avons pu apprécier tout les tons de noir, c'est-à-dire  du noir d’ébène au noir décoloré-albinos. Cette entreprise est donc à saluer car !
