Canvas Tote Bag *also* by @sorayadesignsthings (it carried my extras for the evening and made the fancy car rounds, with an illustrated quote & reminder: “when you have the ability to see sadness in other people, the feeling never really leaves you”)
The crowning piece of the night for me and what I knew had to be a part of the premiere is Brian’s black suede blazer. It kept me happy, warm, and looking cooler than I am all night. (Can you tell what a giant he was?) My dress choice was inspired by the ‘60s silver vinyl space age aesthetic and the clutch is a space grunge chic brick of a bag that also happens to be the silver counterpart to the gold one I carried at the premiere. I rented both the dress & clutches from Toronto’s @fitzroyrentals. My sister Soraya bought me the boots on a whim, which we still can’t figure out why as she has never bought me shoes before, let alone the perfect black boots, but she says something told her I was going to need them. (We say it was Brian. He always encouraged me to wear the boots I loved, no matter what anyone else had to say about it.) I wore them for both my outfits that evening. The metal tips shone gold at the premiere, matching my outfit’s gold brass hooks and the command gold carpet, and shone silver at the after party, matching my outfit’s space sheen motif. Totally unplanned, but that’s how life works. The necklace is a sculpted piece of silver art by Patricia Von Musulin, handpicked and styled by Jorge Morales.
