A shared fashion studio for independent designers in Montréal

Designers in Residence is a working residency for autonomous fashion designers who need a stable professional base. It supports ongoing development and production through regular studio access, industrial machines, pattern tables and tools.

The residency is built around an active practice and continuity of work. Sharing a professional environment reduces the need to recreate a studio for each collection or carry its entire cost alone.

Regular access to equipment and proper work surfaces supports planning, sampling and production. Working alongside other practices creates proximity to shared knowledge and technical capacity.

Collective visibility, commissions and market contexts are considered when the work and opportunity fit. They depend on the project and are confirmed individually. Access hours, storage, monthly fees and membership terms are confirmed in your personal offer. Mentoring and production services are arranged separately.

Start with a conversation about your work and what you need from a studio. We can arrange a visit, show you the equipment and talk through the place available. If it feels like a fit, we put together a personal offer for you.

Beautopie by Julia Beauparlant is part of the LDF residency network. The work offers a view of what sustained access to space, equipment and shared production capacity can support.
