"The fashion soul of Montreal"
Boutique Scandale in Montreal has been run by Marie-Josée Gagnon since 1977. It features an exclusive inventory of high-end clothing for women. Most of the garments were designed by Georges Lévesque, one of Québec’s most talented designers, who passed away in August 2011. Known for his signature avant-garde style and integrity, mixing materials and styles in new ways, Lévesque also worked in theatre costume.
When designer Denis Gagnon arrived in Montreal in 1982 and saw Lévesque's work in the windows of Scandale, he told himself: "I want to be a designer like that." He also called Lévesque "the Christian Lacroix of Québec".
The boutique offers a wide selection of beautiful Lévesque's clothes - gypsy-chic creations and colourful bohemian dresses - but also a variety of other designers. Carefully selected pieces, displayed on two floors, are a real paradise for all fashion lovers. Interesting interior design of the boutique makes shopping here an unforgettable experience. Sculptures, paintings, golden framed mirrors and old pieces of furniture are the integral part of Scandale and, together with the clothes, create its unique atmosphere. Celebrity clients include Julia Roberts and Céline Dion.
