Philippe Dubuc

Since his debut in 1993, Philippe Dubuc has had a passion for the dressmaking profession. “I am in a constant evolution with modernism and urban contrasts”, indicates Philippe Dubuc. “The identity of a city begins with its creators and from their free development.” His creativity and versatility are what inspires him to create complex collections. The Philippe Dubuc style is precise and is distinguished by his well-kept finishings, his mineral tones, and his textured and modern textiles that is reminiscent of the urban hunter and the romantic rebel.

Philippe Dubuc’s universe is lived by individuals of undisputable labels. The media were first to pay tribute to his work. Celebrities of the artistic world then followed suit by increasing the spotlight on his work. The rewards, recognitions, and invitations from abroad and sponsorships succeeded one another. During this vibrant path, the Philippe Dubuc boutique on St-Denis Street grants this Quebecois designer a privileged space amongst other big names in fashion. He shares with his partner Marie-Claude Gravel the desire to put on the forefront – Quebecois creativity and excellence.

Lady Gaga - Marry The Night (Official Video)

I think Lady Gaga touching in her role, I find it brings a new life in this medium (clips) with his fans ... It provides a very theatrical experimental side. I have the atmosphere of the video, and the references it brings. It operates perfectly self-fiction.
