mmode, or the Metropolitan Fashion Cluster, is a non-profit organization that plays a central role in Québec’s fashion landscape. Its mission: to bring together the various players in the industry – designers, manufacturers, wholesaler-distributors and retailers – to create a stronger, more united and more innovative ecosystem. By fostering collaboration and exchange, mmode actively contributes to the growth and competitiveness of the sector.

Representing an important part of the Québec economy, the fashion industry is both a heritage and a significant source of employment. Despite the challenges of globalization, the industry has bounced back, modernized and capitalized on its greatest asset: local talent. Thanks to the creativity of its designers, the expertise of its workforce and a deep-rooted culture of innovation, it garners attention far beyond its borders.

mmode works to position Montréal as an internationally recognized fashion hub, by promoting a strong, distinctive and resolutely Québécois image. It also attaches great importance to developing talent, implementing concrete initiatives to attract, train and retain tomorrow’s professionals. Innovation is central to its actions, along with entrepreneurship and the integration of new technologies, which enable companies to compete and evolve.

Internationally, mmode supports the growth of Montréal fashion through targeted and effective export initiatives. More recently, it embarked on a sustainable path, with a project focused on social and environmental responsibility. mmode aims to guide the industry towards more ethical and eco-responsible practices while continuing to make Québec shine as an inspiring and dynamic fashion hub.
