Denis Gagnon is the Montreal designer whose meticulously cut crafted pieces (many made with leather and silk) have been garnering more and more attention outside of La Belle Province. Aside from showcasing his masterful designs at his Old Montreal boutique (pictured above), Gagnon has been accessing the masses and showing us just how artful fashion really is with these creative, brand-building initiatives:
