Hi Ladies !
Last week Izzy and I went to Griffintown for Betina Lou's Fashion Show
Izzy was invited by the designer and ask me to go with her
Griffintown is the popular name given to the former southwestern downtown part of Montreal which existed from the 1820s until the 1960s and was mainly populated by Irish immigrants and their descendants.
Many buildings and factories were destroyed to make way for an Express way and parking lots
Several buildings are being renovated as condos
This a view on the Lachine Canal
Irish workers in Griffintown worked on the Canal and in the industries surrounding the canal

The Canal opened in 1825 and helped Montreal to turn into a major port attracting to its banks major industries
It was replaced in 1959 by the St-Lawrence Seaway
At these highly fashionable affairs we meet the most interesting crowd
This trendy creature was kind enough to pose with me
We exchanged business cards
You never know!

I've read Izzy's post about this outing and love her new leather Peter Pan collars. I love this chicken you're posing with as well. There are days I wish I had a zipper in my skin.
Your posts are always full of delights, Ariane! I enjoyed the bit of Montreal history, and I am glad some of the old buildings are saved. Love your high-style companion! Thanks for sharing your cool looks and tales with Visible Monday.

You look awesome Ariane and perfect for such an event. I loved this post because I enjoy discovering new places! When I was last in Montreal, I did not happen by this part of town. Thanks for sharing it!
J'aime quand tu nous montres des quartiers de Montreal! I love the last pic!
Wow, what a perfect outfit this is. Love the print and color mixing.
It's so wonderful to see all the different neighborhoods and your photos are beautiful.
oh, i enjoyed it so much! i like these brickstone buildings and the view over the channel and a bit of your city's history. industrial history is so much nearer to us than history of kingdoms, warlords, cesars and bishops. it is a bit of our own history, telling of our great grandmother's and grandfather's lifes. i am always fond to hear of it. you look so stylish in your pleated skirt! lieben gruß von sabine
You look so stylish in this outfit! The glittery blue fabric of this top is just beautiful, and the shoes are so cool!
Seeing your new friend I can see why attending fashion shows is such a coveted event to be part of!
is that a chicken in a fur coat? what what? So trendy! hahahah. I really love your photos, Ariane!
