Death of Professor Valérie Lamontagne
We lost someone precious in our community on Saturday:
The amazing Canadian artist /curator/ fashion designer/ academic Valérie LaMontagne, an innovator and driving force in the FashionTech and academic artistic world, has died on October 5th, 2019 - after a year long battle with Leukaemia, which she thought she beat but somehow took her in the end.
There are efforts in motion to stage an exhibition of her work in Montreal (her home) and in Amsterdam (where she was working) within the year, as well as in London by the e-stitches community. In addition, a book of her work and research from her recently completed PhD.
