STYLIST’S OWN

Last night Montreal Fashion Minds attended the media soiree for the 3rd Anniversary of STYLIST’S OWN.



Located on the corner of Saint-Laurent Boulevard and Sherbrooke Street, the Suco Resto Lounge of the Hotel OPUS hosted the event and provided a chic and cozy environment.



Joined by our good friend and fellow fashionista, Tasha, we looked through racks full of clothes, snacked on tapas and jammed to the beats played by DJ Frigid.







Launched in Montreal, in the spring of 2009, STYLIST’S OWN is for anyone looking to find unique, one-of-a-kind or limited edition, women’s & men’s clothing and accessories.





We even spotted fabulous fashion designers Denis Gagnon and Dimitri Chris checking out all the wonderful pieces at the event.



STYLIST’S OWN is hosted by Azamit, one of Montreal’s most sought after stylists and art direction consultants. Throughout the year, Azamit discovers amazing pieces from showrooms, exhibitions, and designers’ workshops and this event makes it all accessible to you!

This special event takes place each season in a different, unusual or little-known business or public space in Montreal. Past locations included, Domision, a unique designer furniture showroon on St Laurent for the first edition of STYLIST’S OWN and at hairdressing salon, Studio MW in Old Montreal for the second edition. The chosen venues retain their original function, while transforming into a temporary showcase of rare designer delights.

Fashion For A Cause - One Day Without Shoes

Tomorrow, on April 8th, TOMS shoes is organizing its 3rd Annual One Day Without Shoes event. They are challenging people around the world to go the day, part of the day or even just a few minutes barefoot, to experience a life without shoes first-hand.



This special day was organized to help spread awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child’s life. Wearing shoes and practicing basic hygiene can prevent both infection and disease due to unsafe roads and contaminated soil in impoverished countries.



Can’t go barefoot tomorrow? You can still participate by going virtually barefoot and spreading the word online via your facebook statuses, twitter accounts and more! Check out www.onedaywithoutshoes.com for additional info.



Another great way of giving back is by purchasing a brand new pair of TOMS shoes. With TOMS ‘One for One’ initiative, for every pair of shoes you purchase, they will give one brand new pair of shoes to a child in need.



To participate in this wonderful project, check out www.boutiqueonze.ca to buy your pair of TOMS shoes and give back to a child in need. While you’re there you can also check out all their fab new items fresh out for Spring!





Montreal Fashion Minds is always a great supporter of Fashion for a cause. We are proud to have a medium to be able spread the word, and hope you do the same.

Share the love and the shoes!
