Montreal witnessed something truly extraordinary last night, and we are still completely moved by every single moment of it.
Lingerie Emma and its force-of-nature founder Emma Dunn brought their latest campaign, REVOLUTION, to life in the most spectacular and deeply meaningful way at Le Salon Richmond, and the result was an evening that felt less like a fashion show and more like a love letter to women in all their glorious, diverse, endlessly reinventing magnificence.
In Emma’s own words, REVOLUTION is exactly that: a celebration of women of all kinds, their diversity, their individuality, and their extraordinary ability to continually reinvent themselves on this wild and beautiful journey of life. And with over 400 guests filling Le Salon Richmond with the most electric and joyful energy, that message resonated in the most powerful way imaginable.
Ambassadors Ève Salvail, Geneviève Everell, and Catherine Souffront Darbouze not only shared their incredibly inspirational personal stories but absolutely wowed on the catwalk in the most stunning lingerie collections, alongside a remarkable group of women who were every bit as fierce and fabulous. The artistic direction by Félix de La Nuit and styling by Craig Major elevated every single moment of the presentation to something genuinely extraordinary.
Among the evening’s most historic and deeply moving standout moments was Khate Lessard making history on the runway as a trans woman modelling French lingerie in Montreal. A moment of pure beauty, pure courage, and pure joy that had the entire room on its feet.
The fashion was nothing short of breathtaking, with stunning collections from European lingerie heavyweights Chantelle, Aubade, Empreinte, Lise Charmel, Marie Jo, Prima Donna, and Rosa Faia giving the runway the most luxurious and beautifully crafted foundation imaginable.
The evening began in the most glamorous fashion at the VIP cocktail, where guests enjoyed exemplary sushi, delicious appetizers, and the most inventive cocktails Le Salon Richmond could offer, along with a breathtaking backstage sneak peek as the beautiful cast prepared for their runway moment.
And with a portion of the evening’s profits benefiting Le Chaînon, the vital Montreal organization that does such important work for women in need — a cause Emma Dunn has championed for years — the evening carried a generosity of spirit that made every moment feel even more meaningful and more beautiful.
Big congratulations to Emma Dunn and the entire dream team on a night that was as spectacular as it was significant. Here’s to women. In all our glorious shapes, sizes, stages, and reinventions.
