ReMode Montreal will be taking place on Sunday, October 4th to kick off Circular Economy Month! This year’s event will be held at Maison France-Montréal. Come learn how to keep your clothes in use for as long as possible through the 7Rs of Fashion! 

Fashion Takes Action launched ReMode in Toronto in 2023. For four years this Circular Fashion Festival has been shining a spotlight on the #nonewclothes movement and providing a forum for activities that help reduce our collective fashion footprint. We are thrilled that ReMode is returning to Montreal for a second year!

ReMode is free to attend! RSVP NOW!

We feature an array of businesses in our ReMode: Marketplace focused solely on reuse, resale, repurposing, rental and repair.

Vendor Marketplace

We will be offering clothing repairs at ReMode!

Buttons. Rips. Loose seams. Small holes in sweaters and socks. No problem. La Fixerie Couture will be on site to do small fixes, by donation. Available from 11—5PM.

The Talks

The Talks at ReMode Montréal bring together industry experts, changemakers, creatives, and influencers for inspiring conversations on circular fashion, conscious consumption, repair, resale, reuse, and how we can all reduce our fashion footprint.

Clothing Swap

The most sustainable piece of clothing is the one already in your closet…or in someone else’s. We wear 20% of the clothes we own, 80% of the time. So if there are items that you know you won’t wear, or that don’t fit anymore, a clothing swap is the perfect way to share them with someone else, and find new pieces for yourself. 

This year, our swap will be held on September 27
as part of Montreal Fashion Week!

Last year, our Montreal swap resulted in…

  • 580

    items of clothing diverted from landfill

  • 363

    items swapped

  • 217

    items donated

  • 290

    kg of diverted textiles
