Osheaga 2013: 70 festival style photos of crop tops, tie-dye prints and the best hat ever (YOLO!)
See the Osheaga 2013 street style photos »
Is the August long weekend the end of music festival season? Say it ain’t so! However, in order to keep you in the spirit of summer festivals, we have a whole batch of street style snaps fresh from Osheaga 2013. The three-day indie festival is reaching peak popularity, with bands like Mumford & Sons, Vampire Weekend and Kendrick Lamar drawing fans from across the country to Montreal. And, thanks to the style-spotting eye of photographer Phil Birnbaum, it seems like the festival fashion at Osheaga is just as strong as the musical line-up. This may have something to do with the Osheaga’s downtown location, allowing attendees to stay in hotels rather than camping onsite.

Montreal street style: 21 photos of shorteralls, maxi skirts and floral prints outside the Just for Laughs comedy festival
See the Montreal street style photos »
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.

Tried-and-true retailer Reitmans teams up for the holidays with up-and-coming label Martin Lim
It’s a sweltering summer day, but in a cavernous (and thankfully, cool) Montreal loft studio a model is glammed up like a hostess at a holiday fete. The shoot is for a capsule collection that brings together 365-store-strong Canadian retailer Reitmans and two-year-old fashion label Martin Lim, designed by Montreal-based husband and wife team Pao Lim and Danielle Martin, who won last year’s Mercedes-Benz Start Up competition. But these designers aren’t exactly new kids on the block. After both completing a master of arts in fashion at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins, Martin and Lim honed their design skills in Paris: she worked at Christian Lacroix; both put in time at Roland Mouret. In 2004, they returned to Canada, and launched their own line in 2010.

The Weekend To-Do: Music festivals for all, Free People opens in Toronto and fireworks worth checking out in Vancouver
A wise woman from Michigan once said, “Music makes the people come together.” Those six words have never rung truer than this weekend, when thousands from across the land will assemble in parks for a tradition as old as time: the music festival. And for those more into crowd-dodging than crowd-surfing, there’s summer fireworks by the ocean and a cuter-than-cute rom-com at the movies. Take your pick.

The Weekend To-Do: Toronto gets a pop-up shop brunch, new music from Edmonton makes us swoon and don’t forget about the Olympics, of course!
Plippity-ploppity goes the rain, and pippity-poppity goes the shopping. This weekend, when we’re not watching designer-clad athletes dodge raindrops in London, we’re checking out temporary shops across the country. Popping up in unlikely locales, get your wardrobe fix everywhere from frescoed-in-spray-paint back alleys to restaurants best known for their house-music brunch service. But who wants house music when you have the latest band from Edmonton on your Rdio?

Think you’ve seen it all? Check out 26 photos of actors transformed into living statues by M.A.C artists in Montreal!
Wowza! M.A.C Cosmetics brought body art to the streets of old Montreal last week with an outdoor exhibit of living statues created by some of the brand’s expert artists. The exhibit entitled “Hit the Pavement” transformed actors into aged copper, tin and gold statues so realistic, you had to get up close to see that they were, in fact, breathing! Major kudos go to the artists for creating such a fantastical feat. We truly can’t get enough of these photos.

Q&A: 5 minutes with Audrey Blondin-Rocheleau
You could say that beauty runs in the family of 17-year-old model Audrey Blondin-Rocheleau. The granddaughter of cosmetics magnate Lise Watier (who launched her beauty brand in 1972) stars in several fashion campaigns this summer, including Limité, Rad Hourani, Mimi & Coco and Parasuco. Beyond fashion, this wunderkind is prepping for medical school.
What was it like growing up as Lise Watier’s granddaughter?
“For me, she’s just my grandmother. She takes care of me, she cooks for me. She does what a grandmother does.”
