Fortunately, three designers, Dinh Ba, LYN and CIN Tailleurs caught our eye in the men’s department, along with co-ed line UNTTLD. All photos by Danik Yopp (Montreal Street Fashion), special to 2Bmag.

by Boísin Murphy on February 3, 2012
The last time I had spoken to yoga instructor David Flewelling, it was at an underwear party at the loft in the Village. He exuded his usual self-assured and challenging mode of being, with a small tribe of obedient boys downward-dogging at Kai Design‘s space on St-Timothée. As the one-man show behind both Mudraforce – [...]
