About MAS Montreal

Some clothes are made to be worn. These ones are made to stay.

I built MAS because I needed it to exist — and it didn't.

Fashion was my first love. But it loved me back conditionally. As a Black woman navigating predominantly white spaces, I learned early that "fitting in" often meant making yourself smaller — in the fitting room and everywhere else. The industry I adored had a very specific idea of what a body should look like. Mine was never quite it.

For a long time, I adapted. I shifted. I reached for clothes that promised to fix something that was never actually broken.

Then I found movement — real, physical, joyful movement. CrossFit, dance, boxing. My body stopped being a problem to solve and started being a partner to trust. And somewhere in that shift, I stopped waiting for fashion to include me. I decided to build it instead.

MAS is not a collection of individual pieces. It is a system — a quiet, cohesive palette built to layer across years. Three pieces that make six outfits. Timeless silhouettes that don't expire when trends do. Getting dressed in two minutes, every morning, without compromise.This is what I call wardrobe architecture — and it's the opposite of clutter. Less noise, more clarity. Less choosing, more living.
The wardrobe as architecture.
Every piece is brought to life in Montréal, with makers I have chosen deliberately — people whose craft I respect, whose work I can see, touch, and stand behind. Slow fashion, for me, was never a trend to adopt. It was the only way of working that felt honest. A love language between the maker, the garment, and the woman who will one day wear it. When you choose MAS, you are not just buying a piece of clothing. You are joining a different relationship with getting dressed.
Made here. Made slowly. Made with someone.

Mckenna Bisson - Founder at MAS Montréal

Bonjour. Je suis Mckenna.

Founder. Self-taught designer. The woman who answers your emails during reasonable hours.

I grew up in Lévis, studied fashion marketing at Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy and consumer sciences at Université Laval, then moved to Montréal in 2014. I spent time on the floor at Ogilvy’s, learning the industry from the inside — the craft, the customer, the gap between what existed and what was needed. I launched MAS in 2016.

What I didn’t study is fashion design. I taught myself. Pattern by pattern, collection by collection, season by season — I built the language of this brand with my own hands and a relentless curiosity. That self-taught foundation is not a gap in my résumé. It is the reason MAS looks the way it does.

Since then, the En Mode Croissance program in 2023. The Cabinet Créatif at La Piscine in 2024. Panels. Conversations. A growing presence in the Québec creative ecosystem. At the Gala MMode, I was nominated for the Prix rayonnement international de la créativité québécoise—and was selected for the Coup de Cœur du Président prize. Earlier nominations included the Diversity & Inclusion award. The Black Excellence award in 2020 from Canadian Black Designers. In 2021, a feature in Amazon’s fashion series.

I am currently working on Le Printemps des Créateurs alongside Ève Lavoie — a project close to my heart.

Wear it slowly. Wear it well.

All MAS pieces are proudly made in Montréal, Québec.
