About Charlotte Deneux

Born in France and raised in Canada, Charlotte Deneux draws inspiration from the intricacy of vintage undergarments and roots herself in a hyperfeminine aesthetic. Through using delicate fabrics and small ornamental embellishments devoid of meaning, her design process interplays decorative femininity and the complex sexuality of womanhood. Through her work, she challenges the denigration of the “girly girl” and the patronizing attitude commonly associated with femininity. In the past months, Charlotte has been focusing her craft on the making of porcelain objects, utilized as fashion accessories. As of this fall, she will be attending École Duperré in Paris, entering the MA program, where she intends on pushing her research foci and aesthetics even further.

About Raphaël Viens


“Call me a master of none.” Using photography as a means of expression, but mostly as a form of documentation, Raphaël flirts with the idea of immortalizing parts of a creative process relating to design, whether it be his own, or someone else’s. Fascinated by the multifarious approaches to archiving work, he experiments with a variety of tools and techniques to achieve unpredictable results and to learn to let go of control through these precarious experiments. For him, photography functions as a tool, more precisely within the research phase while designing objects, but as a vessel for communicating ideas as well. Credits:

Fashion editorial by Eric Lamothe of Olivier Vouligny graduate collection developed in 2021-2022 at developed in 2021/2022 under the guidance and mentorship of Milan Tanedjikov and Celine Chicoine at École Supérieure de Mode de l’ESG UQAM.


Growing up, Olivier rejected part of himself and found refuge in daydreaming. Through analyzing his community’s symbols and history, he eventually learned to accept queerness. Olivier now turns to utopian criticism as a way of envisioning a queer future. His designs play with gay desirability: capturing the attention of certain body parts through accessories such as big bulge jockstraps. Olivier also makes queer historical references with cuts inspired by the 18th-century Macaroni.




Based in Montreal, Eric has been producing fashion editorial images for over 5 years. His signature techniques are intense lighting and wide-angle composition. He aspires to continue refining his craft and exploring avant-garde fashion photography in London and Paris.

Joshua Boudreau is a queer multidisciplinary artist and emergent fashion designer based in Tiohtia:ke/ Mooniyang/Montreal. Through a mixture of garment making, installation, performance, and sculpture, they explore ways to challenge societal views of reality. Their work aims to build a bridge between

the physical and the abstract by inviting the viewer to question consciousness and venture into the

unknown. Joshua references futuristic aesthetics and uses organic tones and materials hoping to

broaden the understanding of existence in the world in which we live and the time ahead.



Vladim Vilain’s visual arts career began in Haïti, where he spent most of his early life before relocating to Canada following an earthquake. Currently based in Montréal, Vladim’s artistic practice incorporates surrealism to shape conceptual spaces and narratives. His personal work is driven to understand Black identity as interpreted through the literary and cultural aesthetic of Afrofuturism. Vladim directs fine arts projects and also works as a commercial photographer with a focus on fashion and music.
