Moments no. 2

My life via the iPhone over the past few months: a weekend in Montréal with Lauren; dinner at Dandylion, a new Scandinavian-style restaurant on Queen West; relaxing in St. Lucia over Christmas; afternoon espresso martinis at Her Majesty's Pleasure, a new concept salon on King West; video editing at Toronto's Reference Library (designed by Raymond Moriyama); finding inspiration at the Interior Design Show and the Politics of Fashion exhibit; dinner and drinks at Eastside Social with the talented Adam; goodbye cappuccinos at Early Bird Espresso & Brew Bar; my new favourite book; the stunning new Nordic cafe ØDIN on King East; admiring the Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibit at the AGO (which everyone needs to see!); and lastly, a mini Bertoia and three baby Eames chairs at Dark Horse Espresso Bar in Riverdale.

Politics of Fashion / Fashion of Politics

Politics of Fashion / Fashion of Politics at the Design Exchange was an exhibit curated by Toronto's own Jeanne Beker. An extensive display showcasing the importance of controversial fashion as a catalyst for political change, this exhibit featured pieces by acclaimed designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Rad Hourani, and Rei Kwakubo of Comme des Garçons. Politics of Fashion ended this past weekend, but in case you missed it, here are some of my favourite pieces.
