À21h, onlookers gathered outside the bar Rihour The Square neighborhood in downtown. Once past the front door, it’s really hard to fight their way into displays of various artists. Some clever peeps, however, we suggest various Silver Jewellery, accessories, photographs, clothing and retro-inspired objects scattered here and there and that we seem to have already seen somewhere … Fashion as an eternal.
The sights that are presented have the charm of the past and recall some of their creators authenticity of their childhood memories. This may be the comings and goings in the flea markets in search of rare gems or precious jewels found in the trunk of their grandmother. All these objects still inhabit the imagination of young designers who are inspired and never achieve accurate replicas. They revisit and give them a modern air. The old coats, jackets adorning our grandfathers, are gaining more weight and color. Similarly, the old pin flowers of our grandmothers change color, appearance and materials.

Another upcoming event
Manon and Emilie Huet Turblin, aka Flower of skin and La Petite Lili, are two young designers at the initiative of this project. Followers of a new style look to Audrey Hepburn, young women blend in perfectly with the decor of the evening takes us back several decades back. After a call for tenders launched on the net, they proposed the designers selected to join the retro theme and come show off their creations. Manon and Emily, largely satisfied with the number of participants are already planning the next evening of the same type, in the coming months.
