Mr. Speaker, today I want to congratulate Isabelle Gendron from Saint-Hubert, who won the Grand prix d'excellence-Mode Québec, in the student category, at the Quebec young designers competition, on April 8. The winner's name was announced during the Salon de la Jeunesse held in Montreal's Palais des Congrès.
Isabelle Gendron, who is a student at CEGEP Marie-Victorin, also won the Grand prix “Vêtement féminin at the provincial level”. The theme of this year's competition, which is in its 15th year, was “Interculturalism: a world reality”.
The winners of the competition shared $14,000 in prizes. All the garments created by the finalists and winners were shown to visitors, during a fashion show organized as part of the Salon de la Jeunesse.
Congratulations, Isabelle, and good luck in your new career.
