In this lecture, designer Jean-Claude Poitras examines the last seven decades of fashion in Quebec. He leads us behind the scenes and retraces the moments, people and designers who have marked the Quebec fashion scene and its history. He makes us realize that fashion has a special role in bearing witness to the transformation of our society. Fashion trends have not only shaped our wardrobes, but also our mores and our openness to the world.
