Angie Laroque
Quebec
New Designer
Born in Gaspésie and now based in Montreal, Angie Larocque is an actress, model, fashion designer, and multidisciplinary artist. In her Montreal atelier, Angie crafts each gown like a ritual. She sculpts, she writes, she redefines femininity through a visceral, instinctive process she calls Authorial Couture, a practice that exists outside of trends, often in defiance of them. For Angie, fashion is a living art form.
Garment Inspiration
Angie’s piece is titled, Heart of Foam and is an ode to her roots, of the wind-swept rocks of Gaspésie to the sea that cradled her, and to the mythical creatures it conceals. It evokes a woman from the abyss part mermaid, part coral bearing a sacred shell upon her heart.
