Castle (owner of 1861 and her beautiful team of ladies in pink)

I couldn't decide what to get! So many perfect pieces!

The weather was perfect for a pink party yesterday evening. Boutique 1861 threw the cutest event we have been to yet! Pink pink pink! That was the theme and reason all these beautiful ladies got together for a shopping night. The collections were superb and the pink champagne and cupcakes were divine!
You should all rush out to see what 1861 has in store. Boutique 1861 is located at 1861 rue Saint-Catherine in Montreal Quebec. Castle and her team are sure to make you the prettiest girl at the party with their huge selection of dresses, blouses, trousers, shoes, accessories... everything you need to feel gorgeous!

Bright colors mixed with soft hues and alot of snake skin : CHLOE Fall 2011

This season, designer Hannah MacGibbon for CHLOE  had a thing for snakeskin. We adored her take on mixing comfort with sophistocation, all the while having fun with it. The mix of snake skins (especially the green skirt) was perfect. The multi colored poncho was reminicent of the Hudsons bay company type blankets that keep you warm in the colder months of fall. The soft beiges at the begining of the show kept things feminin and the pants made everything look so cozy while maintaining an edge. The two dresses at the end looked doll like and we loved them, but where do they fit in with the collection as a whole?

Prada Womenswear Fall/Winter 2011 Campaign

GIVENCHY brings out their wild side

Riccardo Tisci always blows our minds with his use of prints and his attention to every single detail. This time he used images of panthers mixed with bright yellows and purples. He also threw in a few images of Betty Page to add some sass to the entire collection.  This collection made sex appeal important once again. It also made reference to classic Givenchy style and spinned it with a rock and roll edge. We also noticed alot of peeking mid drift. We predict this will be a major trend this fall.






This outfit was our fav. and the only major
burst of color through the entire show.

A T-shirt that should be a staple in any man's closet: APPEAL --- Interview with Jalil Peraza

Recently Theophilus London has been seen rocking APPEAL tee's. We approve.
APPEAL is a new t-shirt brand by Jalil Peraza.  Jalil was Kanye West's intern and is also a member of the ROSEWOOD movement.  Jalil knows how to bring a good idea to light. He's been working incredibly hard to push his brand of new pocket tee's and it's working. Word on the street is you should run to http://itsappeal.com/shop/ and buy yourself one before they all sell out!!!!!


Le Smoking MTL  recently got to ask Jalil a few questions...

SMTL:  So Jalil, where did the inspiration for APPEAL come from?

JP: Appeal came about in such a simple way, I wanted a catchy, easy to remember name that I felt pertained to the very aesthetic I wanted my brand to represent. Following that i combined it with the concept of meshing both high end styles with leisure wear type clothing.


SMTL: APPEAL seems to be blowing up, you seem pretty young,,When did you start designing?

JP: I have only been designing for about a year.

SMTL: Any major future plans for the label???

JP: My plans are to simply keep building the brand , with hopes of endorsing new up and coming music artists!

SMTL: We see that you interned with Kanye, how was it and how did you score that?

JP: Simply put, Interning for Kanye evolved from being at the right place at the proper time, and allowing Kanye to see my potential , which ultimately lead him to chose me to become his intern, furthermore, an adopted member of the "Rosewood" Movement.

SMTL: There are pictures floating around of you and Theophilus London. You proud he's sporting your designs? Are you guys buddies??

JP:Theophilus london and myself met back in March during SXSW, and weve been cool ever since. It feels really good to see him wearing the Appeal  brand and im glad he likes it!!

We can't wait to see what's coming up next in the APPEAL line! Here is a look at some of the pocket tee's that we love.
