Normally reserved for students, this activity is open to the general public for the first time as part of Montreal Fashion Week 2026. The tour features 10 stops and covers topics as diverse as the fur trade, the golden age of Saint-Denis Street designers, the early days of leading companies such as Reitmans and Canadelle, the impact of Expo ’67 on the international perception of Montreal fashion, the department stores on Sainte-Catherine Street, the industrial era of Saint-Laurent Boulevard, and more.
