>> I have a ton of threads to weave about Montreal's fashion scene and I've seen SO MUCH that it's hard to even begin to process a memory card full of photos. Rest assured, I'll be getting to the nitty gritty on my flight home tonight as opposed to watching the films on fuzzy films and poking the man next to me who will invariably go to sleep with his head drooping off towards my side. Meanwhile though, I had to get up these pics of the new Heikki Salonen trousers I bought from The Convenicence Store's pop-up space in St Martin's Lane Hotel. I may also have to go back for more Heikki lovin'. Like I said his collection has been a slow burner from the time I saw it at Fashion East's show last season and now suddenly bomber jacket sleeved dresses and heavy double faced coats seem like things I can't quite live without...
These trousers that have been panelled with triangular pieces of what I think is forest green raw silk are a start though. The threadbared fabrication sewn onto a solid surface of back is a twist on the distressed aesthetic that has permeated t-shirts and dresses in permeated years. As you walk, you can feel the rips slowly deepening but not in a way that means the trousers would loose their structure over time - if anything, the material feels like an 18th century silk frock - I'm hoping for beautiful decay which sounds terribly airy fairy and 'fash' but for now, I have trousers I actually want to clamber into day in day out so there is SOME element of practicality here... again, I fall prey to the 'interesting trew'...
