Here are a few selected shots from the Festival Mode et Design Montreal

I only briefly attended the Festival, catching only Bedo (a chain store here in Montreal) and Tony Jordan for Lingerie Couture.

Here are some shots from Tony Jordan (Bedo was not exciting enough to warrant uploading here.)

My full flickr stream is here: Bedo and Tony Jordan for Lingerie Couture

On both nights that I went I got lucky to listen to some Montreal Bands. During the Tony Jordan for Lingerie Couture, Plastik Patrik played, all covers though. Glam as hell, but even in his g-string glory, he could only hold a candle to Fritz Helder and the Phantoms

First off:
Glorious fashion? Check
Ass long weave on lead singer? Check
Songs about fashion and poses on the catwalk? Check!
Actual dancing and striking of said poses that would put a model to shame? Check!

Was I totally in love? Check.

Here’s a sample to goggle after!

Shop Dropping:
Artist Natalie Reis and designer Vanda Daftari have a collaborative project that spanned the Island of Montreal. It was a toss up between this piece and “Obesessions are useful professionally but inane in real life”

It’s Summer here and it’s not summer without some amazing work being done on the buildings downtown. It seems like it’s just heating up. I’m finding more and more great work every time I go downtown.

For everyone that missed the Montreal Biennale (which is not terribly hard to do this year, since it crept into town and went out on a whisper) Here is some photo documentation:
To be honest, I was somewhat disappointed. Although the Themes of “open Source/Open Culture” seem so promising, the result felt a bit like a let down.

Montreal Murals- The Plateau

I was hunting for a terrasse and some wine to enjoy Memorial Day with my visiting friend Alison. We eventually found the terrasse and wine, but on the way, we stopped for some murals. I’m still looking for great street art out there, let me know if anyone sees something that I should check out.

Montreal Grafitti – Monkland Village

I was walking around Monkland Village in NDG in my completely unstandard 10 mile walk for the day and finally got to see this up close. I’m a huge sucker for street art and am finally getting in the habit of actually documenting more and more of what I see.
