Andy the great
One of the many perks of my job is chatting with super-talented designers and last week, I got the chance to talk to Montreal-based Andy Thê-Anh at the grand opening of his new boutique (83 Yorkville Ave., 416-921-2639, andytheanh.com) in Toronto’s tony Yorkville.

Montreal: Designer Q&A with Anastasia Lomonova
On a recent Friday night, I sat with designer Anastasia Lomonova (anastasialomonova.com) in her LABoratoire Créatif studio to chat a little about life, fashion and what to do with clothing from past collections. (Answer: She sells them at charity events such as “Au Coeur de la Mode,” which benefits AIDS research. Not bad, right?)

Montreal: Harakiri’s killer jewellery
You know what I can’t get out of my mind? Strange, giant bracelets covered with thorns! Big leaf necklaces! Harakiri’s (harakiridesign.com) work on Denis Gagnon’s latest runway (View a slideshow) show has haunted me like a wild dream of daring accessories coming alive. In order to exorcise my obsession I’ve decided to share it you, dear readers, so everyone can start focusing on what makes a perfect outfit (and what everyone seems to forget): les accessoires, ma chère.

Toronto: Denis Gagnon
{FASHION WEEK SPRING 2009 TORONTO}
By Sarah Casselman
The final day at the tents was an air kissing, Peroni-sipping good time. Yours truly spent time in the sponsor lounge talking accessories (Hermès H bangles) and lingerie (think naughty and nice) with the Agent Provocateur PR rep, Elyn. Despite the long week, I felt energized and could feel the electricity in the air for the long awaited Denis Gagnon spring collection.

Fashion Week follies
It’s been a dizzying and hectic week at the Marché Bonsecours: shows, champagne cocktails (champs + raspberry puree = ecstasy!), and more shows.

Montreal: Fashion week wrap-up
Cold breeze blowing in from the ocean front (alright, alright river front), no parking to be found, girls tripping in the cracks of the old paved street with their high heels, and a hot red carpet inviting us to the Marché Bonsecours: Yep, we’ve made it to another Fashion Week!

Glorious fall
As leaves turn red and yellow in a lovely chromatic symphony, Montreal is having a blast. Thanks to the long weekend I checked out a few movies at the Festival du Nouveau Cinema (nouveaucinema.ca); Patti Smith’s poetic biography was my favorite. On Saturday night Pop Levi played a few mellow songs at La Tanière. As more film nerds and hipsters came in, Ninja Tune’s DJs took over for a wild dance party. The festival goes until next week, so try to check it out—the films are amazing.

If you were wondering why Montreal was invaded by so many hipsters last week, I have the answer: Pop Montreal (popmontreal.com).

Montreal: Fashion Week fast approaching
Montreal Fashion Week is almost here. Taking over the Bonsecours Market in old Montreal (October 13 to 17, montrealfashionweek.ca), the 15th edition of the event is more daring than ever, presenting many young, hip up-and-coming designers as well as the classic, timeless warriors, such as Marie Saint-Pierre, Helmer and many others. Here’s what I’m excited about:

Montreal: Pop up fashion
My favorite festival is finally heading our way! The ever expanding Pop Montréal (October 1-5, popmontreal.com) will strike again from this year, invading the streets, bars and churches with music, film, art and of course—our reason to live—fashion. Aside from the shows I can’t wait to attend, Puces Pop, the fashion branch of the festivities is presenting many events to prove once again that music and fashion don’t just have a fling, but a marriage.
