Esteemed Montreal fashion designer, Marie Saint Pierre will open L'Oréal Fashion Week and also debut in the event's first-ever style trend show, created by L'Oréal Paris and presented live on the runway opening night. Conceptualized by L'Oréal Paris' creative masterminds, Eddie Maleterre and Eric Del Monaco, Fragmented Time is a makeup and hair extravaganza that will explore emerging beauty trends and the creative process behind L'Oréal Paris' Spring 07 makeup collection, as well as showcase the work of over 20 Canadian fashion designers. French Connection, the retail brand, will close the week along with the Fashion Rocks the Runway on-site closing night party.
"This year the focus of our show is the 'democratization of participation,' says FDCC founder and President Robin Kay. "This form of democratic participation plainly states that every single one of us, as attendees to the week, become the CRITICAL force which participates in the Canadian Fashion industry." Daily runway themes are described as Tuesday's Canadian Cool Coast to Coast, Wednesday's Runway to Retail, Thursday's Street to High Style and Friday's Indie Designer Day.
