To Montreal with love..

My Husband and I took my first trip to Montreal, his second. It is a beautiful city with wonderful food culture and amazing people. We were also very fortunate to catch the Jean Paul Gaultier show at the Fine Arts Museum. The mannequin had people's faces projected on them which displayed various emotions. I was deeply moved by some of the Mongolian inspired costumes- the color, the fabrics were very diverse and unexpected. Truly a creative genius!

Next stop the Bio Dome. The nationals stadium was converted to an environment education site. They had put up little sections to educate the vegetation and animals of particular regions- like the amazon rain forest, the Appalachian mountains etc. Even the temperature of the room changed keeping true to the region. The rain forest was warm and humid, the Appalachian cool with slight breeze, Impressive to say the least!

We ended our day at the Jazz Festival. Free music and plenty of beer to go around. Perfect ending to a wonderful beginning.

Overall I was really inspired to create some new styles for a.d.o. Love to hear about your summer trip..
