Barilà and Fashion Week in Montreal
Friday, 23 October 2009
The Sublim team attended Fashion Week in Montreal, where we had the opportunity to see some great designers. We attended a lot of great shows that included Helmer, Denis Gagnon, and Eve Gravel to name a few.
My favorite show this year was Barilà. I can’t say that I wasn’t sold in advance, as we had the chance to see a premiere of the collection when Sublim was retouching their lookbook and the promotional images photographed by Richard Bernardin.
As soon as we arrived the smell of rose petals greeted us and set the tone of the collection; fresh and very feminine, with vibrant colors. The models presented the collection to the rhythm of groovy music. We came away from this event carried by the summer breeze that left us already looking forward to next summer.
At the end of the show the designers showed their support for the One Drop Foundation by presenting the foundation’s promotional video. Designers Sabrina and Claudia Barilà and all the models came out wearing the foundation’s official campaign t-shirt, and were given a standing ovation from an adoring crowd.
