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.
The Plug-Post But Still Fashion-Related
Yay! My first front page featured article at Gloss! I’m actually quite excited about this since these were two interviews I’ve been waiting to see pop out onto this issue.
Go ahead and read my latest interviews of Aqua di Lara designer, Reyhan Sofraci, for her new Qiss Qiss swimwear line, and the charming Evelyne Dupuis‘ White Label interview of her sexy little numbers.
Global Warming Just Got Hotter (I came up with that headline and I’m really proud of it)

Finally, this is the last shameless plug, read me weekly at my column at Capazine, an online magazine for the social network Capazoo. The latest article is about Gucci’s little PR problems that happened during the opening of their 46,000 sq. foot flagship store on Fifth Avenue. And if you’re in for a little humor, I compiled a list of the Top 10 Wackiest Gadgets For Women, which I thoroughly enjoyed researching.

On Thursday, December 20th, there will be an unveiling of a new swimwear collection by Reyhan Sofraci, designer of the high end swimwear Aqua Di Lara. The new contemporary collection will be called Qiss Qiss and will be shown at Time SupperClub at 10pm. Cover charge is $20. So if you’ve been dreading the last couple of days of thunderclapping winter storms, I’m pretty sure this show will making you look forward to summer a whole lot faster!

I will be traveling to the Lone Star state of Texas for Christmas and there are just a few more days until the big day. I’ll surely make a round to the gargantuan Houston mall called The Galleria. One floor level is dedicated entirely to designer collections from Jimmy Choo to Yves Saint-Laurent Rive Gauche. Shopping in America is always a treat because there are a lot of brands that are only local or are not distributed internationally. Houston may not be a fashion capital, so I’m curious to see what kind of fashion style is offered to the general public. So stay tuned!
