Soïa & Kyo - Montreal Fashion Week

Soïa & Kyo fashion show at Montreal Fashion Week
Yup, I'm a little belated on this post given that Montreal Fashion Week was already more than a couple of weeks ago! My bad. The week of Montreal Fashion Week was a crazy week for both Sabby V and I as we not only had the shows, but we had to get ready for a work-trip to Miami a few days later! We've been in Miami for the last two weeks, and so that's why we've been so quiet!

So back to Montreal Fashion Week--we got the chance to attend the Soïa & Kyo fashion show at Marché Bonsecours. We were super excited about this cause both of us just looove their coats!

Here are some pics from their Spring/Summer collection.
BIG THANK YOU again to Peipei for being are amazing photographer!!!

The fashion show opened and closed with Karine Vanasse, Quebec actress and star, best-known for her role in Séraphin, Un homme et son péché (such a sad movie!). She also just recently hosted Les Jutras...  Anyway, we don't have a picture of her opening the show, but we've got a couple of her in the last showcased coat (scroll down to take a look).

Check out the cool pattern in the inner lining!

I love the shoes here too... I wonder where they are from? They look very Rudsak-y...

I LOVE THIS COAT! And I'm absolutely loving grey these days!

I LOVE THIS JACKET TOO :)

Oh and this one too... I love them all equally!

I looove this coat too. Look at the detailing! And the 1/2 or 3/4 sleeves are good for spring/summer for sure!

Karine Vanasse:

What a great show it was! Soia & Kyo outerwear only started in 2004, but now are sold all over the world. We always get such a warm & fuzzy when we hear about local success stories!!!

Lust Item: Gossip Girl Winter Coats

Winter coats in Montreal are a must, and since it is so long I invest in a couple.  A grey one is great since it can be worn with both black and brown clothing.  This one featured below on Serena from Gossip Girl is beautiful because of the intricate flower detail on the collar.  I love the one on Hilary Duff because it is classic black with a twist.  The ruffle detail is so cute!  Blair of course has the most stunning coat ever.  Gorgeous big collar with pleating on top and puffy at the bottom.
Your coat is usually the first thing people will see for 6 months and so I would recommend buying one which is unique and good quality (wool or cashmere).  My favorite brand is Mackage of course (Montreal based company) because of their great fit and fabrics.  Check out their newest collection: http://www.mackage.com/.  They even have a Sabrina coat !!!

 

Montreal Fashion Week - Eve Gravel

Sabby V and I attended the Eve Gravel fashion show during Montreal fashion week.

Quebecer Eve Gravel was our COUP DE COEUR!

The spring/summer collection was young and was like a light summer breeze. The outfits alluded to a summer wedding, innocence, a bit of '70s - a bit of '60s... The outfits were amazing and had that girly yet tomboy-ish look to them. Here are some pictures (taken by our amazing friend and photographer Peipei):

Sabby V and I waiting for the show to start...

Before the show started...

She opened the show with a summer bride. What a way to open the show with a bang!

All the outfits had some cute headgear: headbands, flowers, Elizabethan looking caps...

Love this 'headgear'. Very young Elizabethan era...

Sabby V was totally in love with this sequin black vest!

In Montreal, Eve Gravel can be found at:

Celeb Look of the Week: Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum is the celeb look of the week!

Honestly, Emmy Rossum has great style, and here are some of her recent looks.
Now if only her style was as good as the parts she gets in movies! I mean, poor girl's last job was the Dragonball movie!
Well at least she's in college and has an amazing singing career going on.

Love this look! The dress on its own is rather simple, but boots and accessories give it a sexy yet classy look.

Great fall look for Montreal as well!

Sequins are in this season and so are chain-link bags. I love the little white bolero (? I think that's what it's called) that she's wearing. Lots of different textures in this outfit...

The look is great until you get to the feet, but forgive her; she just had a mani-pedi!

Dress to Kill Magazine party & Designers Remix

After the Createurs Francais fashion show at Marche Bonsecours, Sabby V and I headed to Hotel W for the Dress to Kill Magazine party. We had to work early the next morning and so we couldn't stay very late! Nonetheless, we were able to get some pictures of the models wearing Designer Remix clothing. Here are some pics:

And these three girls were french fashionistas at the party that night. We loved their style and wanted to get a picture of them! We spoke to them after and they were the sweetest things ever!
Merci pour la photo!
