There’s nobody quite like Maria Bamford. She has been a trailblazer in using both standup and her acclaimed Netflix show Lady Dynamite to delve into her experiences with bipolar II disorder and OCD. She’s a talented mimic, shaping her signature squeak into laconic Valley Girl cadences or an earnest Midwestern twang. She is a little […]

Comedy and fashion aren’t exactly what we think of as fast friends, but this past weekend’s star-studded Just for Laughs festival in Montreal (performers included Joan Rivers, Seth Meyers and Jay Baruchel) seemed to find legions of fans in the city’s most stylish set.

Comfort was key for the show’s trendy attendees, who took in the free street performances at the city’s Place des Festivals under the hot July sun. Lucky for us, Style Panel’s Gabrielle Lacasse was on hand to capture festivalgoers in their breeziest, warm-weather ensembles. The street style shots feature crop tops, denim cutoffs, maxi skirts and other summery sartorial staples. Stripes, florals, shorts and primary colours are among the spring trends spotted on the fashion-forward bunch. Among the fashionable crowd, we caught Naomi Gendron, who knows a thing or two about rocking bold colours, and Maddie Lusk, whose shorteralls are a fresh take on the shorts trend. Though these seriously stylish folk are no laughing matter they do put big smiles on our faces. If you missed the lol-packed festival, you’ll have to wait till next year as the event ended with performances by Colin Mochrie and Dave Chappelle among others yesterday.
