The street was slick and frozen, slippery and daunting as Dina and I made our way up our familiar path up St. Laurent usually stopping at the Royal Phoenix but this night was different, it was our very own after hours party of three at glamorously effortless boutique Citizen Vintage.
By now you all have read about my new initiative and pumping fashion dance party MEWS.
I am the co-founder, art director, and second half of DYDH Productions with Dina Habib, who wants to show off what Montreal has to offer.
Through this very blog I was approached by Citizen Vintage for a fantastic collaboration where I would get to co-style a whole runway just for Mews!

We were met by super stylish and co-owner Brooke who had a vision of this grunge glam vibe which is instantly my aesthetic.
From Sante Fe to Don`t Tell the Babysitters Dead to private school and stopping at the dance bar.
We created a story of complete vintage unisex eccentricity.
Mixing men and women in patterns, of skirts, blazers, sand wading velvet ending with complete punk rock disco freak!

From frost bitten make up miscommunication to clothing rack crashes to our 'make it work'
moments the scene was fun, young, genderly ambiguous a great off set to the minimalist perfection that was the architectural neutrality of Pedram Karimi.
I look forward to future collaborations and shopping endeavours at Citizen Vintage and I would like to thank all of them for the wonderfully pleasant and fun experience and for the gracious gift certificates donated for our raffle the night of Mews!
Congratulations to those winners who will get to experience all the glory I dug through but getting to leave with a shopping bag full of delicious vintage finds!
