OUR BLOG HAS MOVED!

Hey Friends! We've moved our blog and incorporated it onto our website at www.domrebel.com. You'll find the blog link in the main menu. At the moment, it's the not the prettiest thing, so give us a bit of time to work on it and make it beautiful. Thanks for following us on blogspot for the past 2 years!

Dom Rebel Fall 2010 Runway

We were very pleased to see the 2000+ people that came out to see our Fall 2010 runway show at the Festival Mode & Design de Montréal last week, thank you all for the support. We'll have a gallery up on our website in the Society section as soon as we are done renovations. Check back to the blog later this week for more pics from the show.

Behind The Scenes Video of Dom Rebel Fall 2010 Campaign

We shot a behind the scenes video with Jen Daoust of our Fall 2010 campaign featuring Will Lewis, to the sounds of one of our favorite songs, "Beat The Devil's Tattoo" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. We had a blast shooting the campaign with photographer Martin Rondeau and stylist Randy Smith, who caught some really great moments of Will out in the hot sun in a village that we don't even think had a name. All we can say is that Molson M saved the day, and we're loving the results!

Dom Rebel Fashion Show This Saturday

This Saturday, August 7th at 9:30pm, we will be showcasing our Fall 2010 collection, "Le Bon Vivant", at the Festival Mode & Design de Montréal. The presentation will be on the festival's main stage on McGill College street in downtown Montreal, just above Ste-Catherine.

The lineup will include highlights from the Bon Vivant collection, as well as selected pieces from our _ATELIERdomrebel collection, which is being released at a handful of retailers around the world at the same time as our main collection, this Friday, August 6th.

The show is open to the public, so space may be quite limited. Get a good spot and enjoy the show!

Dom Rebel Fall 2010

Dom Rebel Fall 2010 Preview

The worldwide launch date for our Fall 2010 collection, "Le Bon Vivant", is set for next Friday, August 6th. Until then, we'll be posting some previews of the collection here on our blog.

Our aesthetic for Fall 2010 is authentic vintage. Our prints are specifically developed and printed to appear as naturally weathered as possible, with desaturated colors and distress. The actual t-shirts look and feel like they've been worn for 10 years and washed 100 times, just like your favorite old concert tee. Various painted effects are added for a worn in and used feel. The majority of the shirts have been repaired with either fabric patches sewn into the shirt or with embroidery that is meant to close up a torn hole. The result is a collection of shirts that you'll want to literally live in, and they'll look even better with age.

As always, we've only released a few pieces of each style to each of our stores. In most cases, there is only one piece per size available in each style. Please contact your local retailer to find out what they will be receiving.

Here are two of our favorite styles, The Patriot and Being Green.

New Site Launching In A Few Days

Our website (www.domrebel.com) will be shutting down in a few days in order for us to launch our newer version, as well as a separate website for our _ATELIERdomrebel brand. Keep checking back for the launch of our new collection, "Le Bon Vivant" and keep posted to our blog for updates. Freshness is in the air!

Meet Will

For our Fall 2010 collection, we had the privilege of shooting Will Lewis. We've been a fan of Will's for quite some time now, and it was nice to be able to bring him up to Canada to shoot our campaign, considering how busy he has been doing runways and photoshoots for the likes of Alexander McQueen, Vogue, Roberto Cavalli, Diesel, Bess, AllSaints...the list goes on. We couldn't have asked for a more fitting man to represent "Le Bon Vivant". Here are some of his works:

Montreal F1 Grand Prix Weekend

Alas, all good things must come to an end. And so, the greatest weekend to spend in Montreal comes to a close as the F1 Grand Prix leaves our town after a one year hiatus. A fantastic weekend, blessed with lots of sunshine and endless partying officially kicked off our summer of festivals. And with the F1 in town, the World Cup officially underway, NBA finals going to game 6, and the CFL season just around the corner, it's a great time to be a sports fan.

For those of you that couldn't make it to our city for the F1, here are some shots of Crescent and Peel streets on Saturday afternoon. We started getting tipsy and lazy as we got to St-Laurent, so no soup for you. You'll just have to come next year.









Lesson learned: even Ferrari's can't park next to fire hydrants...

A Kate Moss Moment

...brought to you by this month's Vogue Hommes International. Yes, we design men's clothing. But the only way we get through an entire day is by taking breaks to look at girls.

Welcome To Our Backyard

The best way to describe our neighbourhood is that it resembles New York City's Meatpacking district in more than one way. We're right on the water and just down the street from the Atwater Market, where butcher shops, cafes and local produce suppliers give you best that Quebec has to offer. The area has a grungy chip on its shoulder, and it's becoming kind of a hub for creative types (there are quite a few music and movie studios next to us). We chose this area because it reflected our personalities and the creative nature of our brand.

When we need to feel inspired, a quick walk in the backyard gets the creative juices flowing. You can see the high-rises of downtown Montreal in the background, and we're nestled under Westmount in a kind of serene place. The building you see here is where the entire Dom Rebel world exists. Our head office and design departments are here, as well as our workshop where we make every single Dom Rebel piece. And, right next to the French bistro downstairs is our Punk & Doll Gallery, which you'll be hearing more of shortly.
