Denis Gagnon

Graduated from LaSalle College in Montreal  

I found out he is one of the best very well known Fashion Designers in Canada whose creations have often been compared to  works of art.

He is very well known for using leather in his garments, with a monochromatic and minimalist style.

As an Artist he has been invited to participate in an exposition last year at The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to do a collaboration with the Architect Gilles Saucier.

In one interview he express why this collaboration with Gilles Saucier was so important to him, and he said.

"I’d been wanting to meet Gilles Saucier and work with him for a long time. I’d seen his work at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, at Usine C and at McGill University’s Faculty of Music,”

. “I love the pared-down look of his art: it’s at once very classic and very modern. That is why I thought of him as the one to place my work in the right setting. And both of us love black – there are many colours in black."

For me after reading about Denis Gagnon he is such a interesting Artist too look closely, who is always expressing his own concept of the way he sees life, objects, materials and has the ability to transform them into great special and original pieces worth to be in exhibition and to be follow.
