Le Château turns 50

By Kate

Updated November 2, 2012

Le Château is celebrating 50 years of runway inspired fashion. Founded in 1959, the first store opened in Victoria Square, Montreal and aimed to bring European trends to Canadians. The line is designed in Canada, which I didn't know, and 35% of the companies production is also in country. There are over 200 Canadian stores nationally so I thought this would be an interesting little tidbit. Check out some of their vintage ad campaigns. – Kate Daley
