In 1986, Matthew Gallagher was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia on Canada’s scenic Eastern coast, which played no small role in the development of Gallagher’s luxurious, yet refined aesthetic. On a family trip to Italy in 2007  Gallagher came across the Istituto Europeo Di Design and his entry into the fashion world began. Gallagher is set to debut his collection this week at Toronto Fashion week – we can’t wait to see what he puts out!
