For anybody who thought that a designer from Montreal couldn’t make a global impact, Francis is the exception to the rule. Mr. Mayer is also far from your typical suit designer.
He stands as the rebel of the suit industry by breaking any stereotype of what a suit maker should look like. This same rebel mindset made him very bold when it comes to his personal style.
Mayer’s personal style is hard to define because of its uniqueness. A combination of streetwear’s finest and suits that often leaves you with a positive version of the “How Sway?!” expression on your face.
Nowadays, customers have an intense desire to know who’s behind the brand and sometimes even more than knowing the brand itself. This is something that Francis Mayer definitely knew how to tap into since he is now considered as an influencer with a strong reputation in places like Italy, Toronto, New York & Las Vegas!.
During our stay in Vegas, he took his time to make us visit the trade show and have a conversation with us about his insights on modern menswear. Let’s take a trip inside the mind of the rebel of classic menswear shall we?!

3 Keys To Success
#1 Traveling Is A Serious Growth Factor
Francis said it best, when you stay in your city, environment or comfort zone you’re missing out on a lot of things. Even though traveling seems like an expense at first, you have to do those trips to understand yourself or your industry even more!

#2 Don’t Be Afraid To Stand Out
Mr. Mayer is known for his unorthodox approach to modern menswear (that suit with Kobe Bryant interior fabric is still the ultimate statement). Regardless, this young designer decided to break the stigma of perfect suit maker and you can tell that it definitely paid off!
#3 Your Network Is Your Net Worth
Following Francis Mayer around with my camera made me realize the ultimate power that networking has. Indeed, the young creative was able to connect and exchange through powerful conversations with almost everybody we’ve met during the day and this was priceless to watch and capture.
You never know where a candid conversation will take you especially in a world where we don’t always know who is who. I’m not saying that this will always turn in your favor but you can’t afford to not giving a try right?!
A Once In A Lifetime Experience!
To conclude, the Agenda/Capsule was an amazing experience at large. We were able to talk about Montreal’s culture and to our surprise, it seems like brands and influencers from all over the world are now more and more curious about that MTL flava.

This Year Malefycia Is Colliding Horror And The Bible To Make The Thrill Of Halloween Real Again
Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time
Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.
The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.
Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.
You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!
their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.
What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.
Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.
There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.
When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.
I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.

Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.
One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.
For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.
What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.
”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

We are now entering an era where we want to know more about what is going on on the other side of the world.
How people are living, their culture and what is their reality compared to ours.
Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.
Milan Bihlmann and Muammer Yilmaz are two filmmakers who know where they stand when it comes to that.
”Rêves D’Afrique” is the epidemy of that. The two filmmakers decided to go to 7 countries in Africa to not only paint the picture for the world but to give the good people out there something we forget to give one another : ”a piece of yourself’.
Armed with a backpack, film gear and true altruism, the duo spread love and good deeds wherever they could throughout their trip.
Watch The Trailer
Les Grands Explorateurs being this platform to uncover the world made the right choice by adding this beautiful piece to their program.
Up until November 1st, you still have the chance to see the beautiful piece in theater and then online starting November 2nd.
