Monday, February 4th, kicked off Montreal's 24th fashion week. Sometimes I find shows becoming slightly mundane , all taking a rather traditional approach. Not Ralph Leroy , and that is why I adore his presentation ! He designed a collection of well cut suits for men and women as well as suede and leather day wear. His finale was brilliant with a European vs Haitian dance-off. The beauty of the two dance forms was quite the show closer.
I applaud Leroy's originality and craftsmanship. The designer spends a good amount of time helping to improve Haiti's conditions after the horrific earthquake of 2010. The Ralph Leroy show has me not only longing for his pieces, but also wanting to take a Caribbean/African dance class. Shake it out, were in the final two days of the week !
