In addition, the audience had the chance to get a glimpse of the process behind the realization of this year's publication through the lens of the multidisciplinary artist, writer, and performer Koko, photographer Vladim Vilain, a recent graduate from LaSalle College, and LIGNES DE FUITE protégé, Joshua Boudreau, final year fashion students at École supérieure de mode, Clarisse Bessard and Elisabeth Atchadé, Contemporary Artist, and Curator Samuel Arsenault-Brassard, third year fashion design student Danielle Medland at LaSalle College, BA honours menswear student at Central Saint Martins Morggan O'Brien Jussaume and Charlotte Deneux.
