Casa Cares Temptations
Every year CASA Cares, a non-profit student organization of Concordia’s John Molson School of Business, organize a fashion show event where all proceeds are donated to the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Since the fashion show’s inception they have raised over $30,000 for the hospital.
In their latest edition called “Temptations,” a slew of local designers lent student models their designs to strut them on the runway. I took photos of the event and you’ll have to forgive my poor photographic skills, you can’t do much on an automated Canon! As 9:15pm rolled around, the lights finally dimmed and the show started. What’s interesting of these student run shows were the choreographies the models produced. Some were fun and quirky like when they presented a collection for Kensie Girl and the girls bopped their hips along, winked and gasped at the crowd.
DO get your panties in a twist
If La Senza brings us daily and Victoria’s Secret is fantasy, then British import Agent Provocateur could be the sauciest of them all. CNW Group reports the opening of the famous lingerie line to their very first Canadian store in Vancouver last week. Plans to establish stores in Toronto and Montreal should be set up later this year.
Maggie Gyllenhaal - sweet knickers.
Known for its controversial sexually laden ads especially the 2001 ad featuring Kylie Minogue riding a mechanical bull (whew!), it has since gathered quite a cult following among celebrities.
If you’re on a hunt for that special little number for Valentine’s Day (ladies, of course) and can’t wait for Agent Provocateur to make an appearance, you can try you luck at Blush and Boutique Josephine.
