Burberry Prorsum Ready to Wear – Spring 2009
Burberry is known for their trench coats and I love the ombre treatment Christoper Bailey had added this season.
Love the pants, I’m really obsessed with the baggy right now. The shoes are getting too ridiculous. Look how high that heel is, crazy. This is another trend I’ve noticed over the fashion weeks, Super, Super, Super high platforms.
Crazy Lady is now a trend
Refinery29 had me laughing with their top 13 trends from London Fashion Week
Crazy Lady. Over the top, under the table. We can’t tell which it is, but we still feel a certain sisterhood with this level of eccentricity. So maybe we’re crazy, too. From left: Temperley, Topshop Unique, Aquascutum, Topshop Unique
Crazy Lady is now an official trend. I wonder how this is going to play out in Spring 2009. We still have Paris to see if this trend will become entrenched or not.
In New York, Marc Jacobs kicked off the trend.
Montreal 2008 – u&i
Another great shop in Montreal is u&i. It’s located on St Laurent but I didn’t manage to get any pictures. They weren’t as friendly as Thomas from Reborn so I didn’t bother to ask. From the Brand list you can imagine that it’s pretty cool.
Montreal 2008 – Me
On the train ride over I met a photographer named Jared. We were walking in the same direction when we got off the train and he snapped this photo of me.
i got: A vintage beaded bag
A vintage beaded bag
This was one of my purchases in Montreal as I was told to hit up the vintage shops. I’ve been looking for a small, clutch like bag that can fit my Smartphone (Blackberry now) and my camera. This does both and is pretty, yay! This was purchased at Friperie St-Laurent, 3976, boulevard Saint-Laurent.
Montreal 2008 – Reborn
One of the coolest shops in Montreal is Reborn. Adrian from Fashion Verbatim recommended that I check it out. It’s in old Montreal and I visited it after my stop at the Notre-Dame Basilica. I had forgotten the address that Adrian had given me and I was wandering around looking and then I saw the window and I knew I found the place.
Thomas (I think that is his name according to Adrian) was in the shop and he was so friendly and helpful. We talked fashion a bit and I mentioned that I was from T.O. and a blogger. Turns out he knows Tommy Ton from jakandjil.com. We are both eagerly awaiting Tommy’s photos from his travels during the fashion weeks. He’s even seen my blog before and that totally blew my mind. It still to this day surprises me when I meet people that have read this site.
He showed me a lot of the great pieces in the shop like the my new obsession, the Denis Gagnon leather hoodie; it’s absolutely to die for. (It’s also available at Holt’s in Montreal). There are mens and womens clothing in the shop but a lot of pieces are chosen for their unisex value. It’s rare that I walk into a shop and want almost everything they have to offer.
The accessories perfectly complement the well edited selection of clothing. The deer’s head clutch by Natalia Brilli is amazing. Her jewelery is so unique as she takes objects and wraps them in leather.
I didn’t buy anything because it would have totally blown my trip budget but I was really, really tempted. Brands available at Reborn: Acne Jeans, Alexander Wang, Arielle de Pinto, Borba Margo, Cavern, Chronicles of Never, Complex Geometries, drkshdw, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Filippa K, Harakiri, Henrik Vibskov, Kenzo Minami, Lilies, Natalia Brilli, Oktober, Petar Petrov, Peter Pilotto, Pleasure Principle, Preen, Rad Hourani, Raf by Raf Simons, Raf Simons, Robert Geller, Sharon Wauchob, Surface to Air and Velour.
There is also an online shop for those who can’t make it to Montreal.
Christopher Kane Ready to Wear – Spring 2009
I think I’m one of the only people that loved Christoper Kane’s spring collection. It’s getting torn a new asshole on The Fashion Spot.
The shoes are freakin’ ridiculous though.
