Ça Va De Soi

As you all know, Montreal Fashion Moms had the pleasure of attending Montreal Fashion Week again this season. We started off the evening with Ça Va De Soi, a luxe knitwear collection designed by Montreal veteran Antoine Nasri and his daughter Kinza. The daddy-daughter duo showed plenty of soft, simple and sophisticated looks with lots of pencil skirts, twinsets, color-blocked dresses, leggings and turtlenecks. The color palette was monochromatic with plenty of gray, beige, camel, crimson, burnt orange and a hint of mint. They completed the look with Parisian chic, barely-there, fresh-faced makeup and hair pulled back in a ballerina bun. Oh la la!

While the minimalistic presentation didn’t bring the wow factor we generally like to see walking down the runway, (besides one model’s rock-hard breast implants that were noticed by pretty much everyone) their pieces were simple, classic and most of all wearable. The collection is ideal for those looking for high-quality, every day basics perfect for layering or mixing-and-matching. Lysanne Pépin, owner of the successful boutique Espace Pépin in Old Montreal, said it best in her interview with The Gazette’s Eva Friede – “Avant-garde is nice, but we need clothes that are wearable on the streets."

Check out the pics below and let us know, would you wear any of these luxury knitwear pieces?
