Indeed, we’ve noticed that more and more Montrealers are now adepts of buying local which is great. Some local designers may fall under the radar locally but internationally the moves they make are undeniable.
For the skeptical out there, you would be surprised how Montreal brands are actual trendsetters across the globe. Since they all come from this place we call home, they’re the best to get us ready with some fall essentials.
Today we will make you discover 5 Montreal brands from which you can get your fall must-haves.
1. Kuwalla Tee- “Almost Famous” Bomber
Price
145$
Website
Kuwalla Tee has definitely established itself as a brand worldwide in the past few years. Since they were already the “Go To Guys” for streetwear basics it was only right they give the world a bigger range of products.
Their “Almost Famous” bomber is a piece that really caught our eye from the get-go. The details, Japanese streetwear inspiration and of course the color are what makes it a must cop this season!
2. Pony MTL- “UFO” Sweatshirt
Price
50$
Website
Pony is a brand we’ve discovered last summer at Mural Festival and since then they kept bringing some heat on the shelves!
From their pins, to their patches and clothing, Pony has the eye when it comes to create the perfect culture jam items. Their pieces can either take you back time and make you smile at the same time.
This fall you need to stand out in terms of colors and this sweatshirt right here is the right item you can use.
3. Naked & Famous- Sherpa Jacket
Release Date: September 22nd
Website
Naked & Famous is the big brand that likes to stay under the radar. We’ve found out that the brand was Montreal when we went to Agenda in Las Vegas.
This denim brand provides high quality denim pants & jackets and this ivory corduroy jacket is just a glimpse of what they got (not out yet) . Details and high quality materials is standard for this Montreal brand and they make sure every penny is worth it!
Definitely a challenge to rock and it’s only meant for fashion lovers who love to risk. If you’re following what we do, you’re already in that category (as you know too well!).
4. The Maison DesRosiers Sport Pants
available for pre-order only
Website
This fall, sports pants are taking over for real. It’s hard to separate yourself from the pack but this Montreal based streetwear brand seems to have that hidden gem for you.
Maison Desrosiers is a Montreal brand that knows how to express rebellion & freedom through clothing. This piece here says it all .
5. Blunts & Kicks “OG BIG LOGO” Hoody
Price
44.99$
Website
Blunts & Kicks is a local brand we’ve been following for quite a while now. Their expansion over the world is incredible and they’re constantly on the grind.
It’s pretty rare for a streetwear brand to have a classic design and B&K already has several. For this brand, their signature logo still has that “I can relate” feeling attached to it.
Whether you’re into the cannabis culture or not the “Blunts & Kicks” hoody will keep you safe and fly throughout fall; it’s a guarantee.

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital
A New World Order
Published
4 years agoon
Aug 21, 2020
I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.
Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour
As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.
a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.
I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.
I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.
In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.
Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.
From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.
Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.
Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.
As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.
The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.
Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.
Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis
It’s all about your point of view

Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach
I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.
Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started
Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.
Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.
Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.
The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.
That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.
In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.
QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE
#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole. After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences. I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business. To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago. #2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.
