“larry.” will have another show coming up at the grace-gallery in Vancouver on December 16, all the exciting juicy details are coming soon!
Last Thursday was a night of celebration. Shallom has returned from months abroad spreading her artistic talents around Europe and a welcome-home was in order. Two hot events were on the agenda: dace’s spring/summer 2010 collection was unveiled at the Opus Hotel, and Fortune Sound Lounge hosted the Bench store opening party thrown by ION Magazine.
We wrangled a whopping 12 ladies together for the night. Shallom and I wore jewelery from Jeweliette – she a clear crystal necklace, and I donned two black bracelets:
The dace event at Opus was packed – we arrived just in time for a glass of free pink champagne, mingled with some lovely folks, adored the collection (and the models’ hair!), and posed for plenty of photographs.
dace looks primed to deliver another fantastic collection come Spring! I love the pleated pants and cropped blazers, and dace is always my go-to for simple but feminine dresses.
Post Opus, we gobbled delicious oysters and flirted with the hunky staff at Rodney’s Oyster Bar, then headed to the Bench party (now open in Pacific Centre) at Fortune Sound Lounge in Chinatown, with Trevor Risk + Ethnic Friends and a dance performance by Over the Influence. I ran into Virgin Radio’s Jeff Winskell and stole his Bench branded shutter shades for this key photo op:
Amazing night, thank you to dace and Opus Hotel and ION Magazine and Fortune for accommodating us all evening, and to Jeweliette for helping us pick out the perfect accessories for the night!
Welcome home Shallom ! Most photos above taken by Jennifer Wint!
I will be at this fantastic sale in Victoria all day on Saturday with larry., very much looking forward to it. Some great designers, plus fashion show, models, hair by my old salon the Hive, drinks and DJs. Sounds like a recipe for fun. The Times Colonist newspaper ran a piece about me/larry and two other Vancouver designers who are trekking over for the show – they even splashed my mug on the front cover of the paper!

Hope to see you in Victoria, but if you can’t make it you can still find larry. at Obakki, The Velvet Room Boutique, and Body Politic in Vancouver. Christmas is coming…
dace is running an amazing contest that’s easy as pie to enter: pick two items you covet from their current collection, send your picks to dace, and be entered in a draw to win them.
dace is one of my absolute favourite fashion labels, so it was hard to narrow down just two choices from the collection for my own wish list, but here they are:
Even though my closet is chock full of blazers, I can’t get enough of them and I love this Midnight Blazer with cropped sleeves:
I’m really lacking in high-waisted items right now so I opted for the Trudy skirt as my number two pick, though I was eyeing some blouses as well:
Here are the contest details:
