Montreal: Nicole Richie promotes clothes, thrills fans, at Holt Renfrew
Holt Renfrew was all aflutter last week due to the arrival of L.A. socialite-turned-designer Nicole Richie (and our March cover girl). Though she was an hour late, the crowd of fans and photographers applauded enthusiastically when the petite starlet finally arrived at the Golden Square Mile location, dressed to impress in Beverly Hills boho-style dressed in a black brimmed hat, loose black vest, black opaque tights; black Louboutin shooties (yup, lots of black) and high-waisted, thigh-high blue denim cut-offs. Underneath it all she wore a vintage-inspired silk top from her recently launched clothing label Winter Kate, the raison d’être for her appearance. Richie was also there to debut a footwear range for her popular accessories label House of Harlow 1960.

Hair as performance art at the L’Oréal Color Trophy
We recently got the opportunity to go to the L’Oréal Color Trophy and having heard about the out and out spectacle of the presentation, we hopped a plane to Montreal and took our videographer with us. The Color Trophy awards styling teams from across Canada for creating a look that brings together hairstyle, colour and makeup, and the le tout of the Canadian salon world attends the over-the-top ceremony. (For those of you who haven’t been to a hair show, the people watching is fantastic. This is a world where statement hair rules. We spotted rockabilly bangs, teased out bouffants and crazy colour–and that was just the audience. To an editor more accustomed to subdued Toronto hair, it was a visual feast.) -
The daily steal: Cotton trench, $100
After the LBD, a classic, tan trench is every woman’s wardrobe staple–so think of this one from Le Château ($100, lechateau.ca) as not only a steal, but a style investment.

Montreal: Shopping up-and-coming names at the Smart Design Mart
Last weekend saw the first-ever Smart Design Mart (smartdesignmart.com) unfold in a building on Casgrain Street in Mile End. The fashion, art and design event “was put together in one month,” says Angie Johnson who, along with her B.F. and business partner, Tyson Bodnarchuk–they are the duo behind Headquarters Galerie + Boutique–hooked up with five like-minded pals to organize a gathering of 50-plus exhibitors. Said Johnson, “Nobody needed another arts and crafts fair. Our idea was to put together a mini-boutique.”

Montreal Fashion Week highlights
The Marché Bonsecours overflowed with Montreal’s fashion crowd who teetered in high-heels over St-Paul Street’s cobblestones to take in three days of Montreal Fashion Week.
On day one, Andy Thê-Anh’s “cocktail” presentation unraveled more like a schmoozy happy hour social than a spring and summer preview. Latecomers tiptoed to catch glimpses of the central stage that doubled as a mini-runway while P&G Beauty reps (in coral mini-togas) served skincare samples on trays like canapés. Known for his sophistication and architectural details, Thê-Anh’s show sparkled (even from a distance) with various shades and intensities of blue paired with neutral white and black.

Montreal: A travel tip sheet
All good things must come to an end, and sadly, this is my last entry on the fashion magazine website. To finish up in beauty, I’ve decided to write this one with a personal note. Here’s my top three reasons why you should all come and visit Montreal! And since fashion is a bit everywhere and anywhere, my humble suggestions of the perfect outfit for each occasion.
Music! Have you heard all the great bands that are coming out of here? I mean, did you even lend an ear to Think About Life, Parlovr or Handsome Furs? Not only the music is awesome, but they all look so good doing it!

Renata Morales’ fall line takes a really, really close look at moths
Though we’ve long loved Renata Morales (renatamorales.com), the Montreal designer came screaming back into our consciousness last October with her Spring 2009 show–full of ethereal dresses made of candy floss and the feathers of imaginary birds (we assume). The frocks in Morales’ Fall 2009 collection were inspired macro photographs of moths and rendered with feathers, sequins and knit metal mesh. The tough edge and handmade, demi-couture details make Rodarte an easy comparison, though Morales always seems to take it one step creepier. More images after the jump.
