MONTHLY PAYMENT: 2022 Campaign by Alex Black

If there’s anything knows ALEXANDRE FAULKNER intimately, it’s the world of fashion.

With more than a decade of industry experience under his belt—including working for acclaimed Montreal-based designers like Marie Saint Pierre and Philippe Dubuc and doing sales for Acne Studios in Paris, followed by a stint at a modelling agency—it’s safe to say Alexandre Faulkner has seen it all. But his latest venture is entirely a making of his own. The ethos behind Monthly Payment, a tightly curated made-to-order and ready-to-wear line, is all about creating accessible luxury, he says. Since launching a year ago with savings from his previous jobs—hence the name—Faulkner has garnered a dedicated fan base for his pared-down version of a capsule wardrobe. There are fewer than a dozen styles, but that’s by design. Each timeless piece—like an oversized double-satin shirt or tapered twill stirrup trousers—is carefully thought out, from the fabric down to the seams. This model allows Faulkner to minimize waste and collaborate with his clients to create something that’s truly one-of-a-kind. “Anybody who starts something now shouldn’t even [need to] claim that it’s sustainable—it wouldn’t make sense to start a company that isn’t [sustainable] today, ” he says.
