Stopping by Montreal’s Lustre Boutique and Atelier is like invading your always-hip, inherently stylish best friend’s closet. The St-Laurent Blvd boite is owned by designer Yasmine Wasfy, who stocks the store with her in-house label, Lustre, as well as pretty, handpicked accessories and artwork by other local designers. Wasfy graduated from LaSalle College in 2001 and then honed her design skills while working in the costume department at The Magical Kingdom (yes, Disney World). Upon returning to Montreal, she launched her label in 2006, creating vintage-inspired frocks that are girly and sweet, yet still urban chic. To wit: backless denim dresses and vintage floral shifts have ruled the racks for summer, while fall shoppers can expect British-influenced style, like the multi-colored tartan-esque print strapless bubble-dress, which will surely be snapped up by that in-the-know best friend.
