About last night…

Thank you so much ACMI_AIFD for putting on the first runway for local, independent designers! These models wore the s**t out of our pieces 🥵. I’m still not over it .

What happens when we stop asking whether there’s room for our bodies in fashion and start making the room ourselves?

That’s the idea behind in/ex/clusive , an afternoon and evening of fashion, art, conversation, and community taking place at articule on September 27 as part of Montreal Fashion Week 2026. But our contribution to Montreal Fashion Week doesn’t stop there!

Tonight, we’re also excited to be part of something brand new: ACMI_AIFD , the Association of Independent Fashion Designers, is launching its inaugural fashion show. The runway will bring together local independent designers for a show that puts the bodies, identities, and designs so often pushed to the sidelines of Fashion Week front and centre.

This year’s collections imagine an alternate 1950s. A world where q***r and gender-nonconforming people are visible in fashion, and disabled bodies are part of the story. Vintage lingerie and bridal pieces meet gender-affirming garments, gaffs and binders sit alongside mid-century silhouettes, and mobility aids become part of the visual language rather than something to hide. It’s a fashion show from a 1950s that never existed, but definitely should have.

For us, the runway and IN/EX/CLUSIVE are part of the same larger conversation: who gets to be seen, who gets to participate, and who gets to decide what fashion is supposed to look like?

IN/EX/CLUSIVE takes that conversation off the runway and into the room. Created by Origami Customs and artist Elio Choquette, the event will bring together designers, artists, performers, organizers, advocates, and other creatives to talk about what inclusion actually looks like in practice.

There will be exhibitions, local vendors, artist presentations, mini-consultations, three bilingual roundtables, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the people behind the work. We’re especially excited about the panels, which bring together people who are actively challenging the systems that decide whose bodies belong in fashion, art, healthcare, public spaces, and culture.

✨What if trans and gender nonconforming people had been just as visible and celebrated in the 1950s as the pinups and catalogue models of the era? Well, this week, we’re bringing that alternate version of history to the runway.

✨We’re all familiar with the classic 1950s look: perfectly coiffed pinup hair, vintage lingerie, cinched waists, exaggerated curves, and an unmistakably “feminine” silhouette. Dapper men in pressed three piece suits with classy patterns and hats. But these familiar images also reflect a very specific idea of who was allowed to look like that.

✨This week, the collections on the fashion runway will imagine an alternate timeline. A 1950’s where trans women appear on the cover of the Sears catalogue. Where trans men wear binders beneath their classy work suits. Where q***r and gender nonconforming people aren’t hiding for their own safety, but are proudly and visibly a part of fashion.

✨The result will be a fashion show that plays with the visual language of the era while refusing to accept its limitations. Vintage lingerie and bridal pieces meet modern gender-affirming garments. Gaffs and binders sit alongside mid-century-inspired silhouettes. Technical pieces are reimagined as part of a world where they have always belonged.

✨ It’s happeneing on the ACMI_AIFD runway on September 23. Join us?

Semaine Mode de Montréal

(le français suit)
An event centering inclusive and body diverse local designers and artists during Montreal Fashion Week 2026!

IN/EX/CLUSIVE aims to make space and provoke conver-sations around what true inclusion means and how the fashion and design industry perpetuates anti-fat biases, which too rarely happen during mainstream events such as fashion weeks.

The event encompasses a pop-up, exhibition, consultations, three roundtables, presentations by industry leaders, artists and designers, and a meet-and-greet afterwards.

So spend your afternoon with us on Sunday, September 27, 2026, getting to know artists, brands and designers who are disrupting the fashion and design worlds, and making changes locally to increase visibility around inclusive designs, fat liberation, disability justice, 2LGBTQIA+ issues, and more!

Un événement qui priorise l’inclusion et la diversité corporelle de designers et d’artistes d’ici durant Semaine mode de Montréal 2026!

IN/EX/CLUSIVE cherche à créer de l’espace et à provoquer des conversations autour de ce qu’être réellement inclusif veut dire, et comment les industries de la mode et du design perpétuent des attitudes grossophobes, des sujets encore trop rarement abordés dans des événements grand public tels que les semaines de la mode.

L’événement comprendra un pop-up, une exposition, des consultations, trois tables rondes, des présentations par des figures de proue de l’industrie, des artistes et des designers, et finalement, un moment d’échanges et de rencontres avec les artistes.

Alors venez passer l’après-midi du dimanche 27 septembre 2026 avec nous pour apprendre à connaître des artistes, marques et créateur.ices qui dérangent dans le monde de la mode et du design, et qui font une différence localement en apportant une plus grande visibilité aux designs inclusifs, à la libération des corps gros, la justice anti-capacitiste, aux enjeux des communautés 2LGBTQIA+, et plus encore!

Throwback to one of our first binder shoots! I loved these red velvet boxer breifs. What do y'all think? Do you remember this collection?

09/09/2026

Pssst! Have you heard about our sale yet? 30-70% off all overstock? Those are samples that we built up over the year, and we now need to get rid of them to make room. Grab one before they're gone!

Please Share a post or check out our sale so I can take time off to recover from COVID!

being a small business owner is so brutal, you have to work when there’s work to be done and it’s really really hard to take time off, even when you know you need to.

I’ve Got so many things on the go right now, stopping to take a moment to breathe just seems so unrealistic. But if we have good sales for a couple days, that’s enough to be able to not stress. 😮‍💨

If you can’t buy something (and there’s stuff for like $12 and up!) if you could share one of our posts or tell a friend or something just to signal boost . Thank you 🙏
