Montreal: Fantastic Plastik Patrik

What an event it was at this year’s edition of the Festival Mode et Design! Despite the rain changing up the schedule and cancelling several fashion shows, to our deepest regrets (Valérie Dumaine I will catch you soon enough!) the four days of fashion madness went on very well, right up to the very last show, the Fashion Musique presents Couture Lingerie. Plastik Patrik put on a hell of a performance, rocking on the crowd with covers from Blondie, T-Rex, Edith Piaf and more. He even offered us a taste of the new album from his band Patrik et les Brutes, dropping this fall, by playing two originals songs. I contacted this DJ-singer-fashionista extraordinaire to ask him more about his sense of style. (Let me tell you–day or night, in the street or in the club, Plastik is always dressed to impress.) Like usual, only a word will do!
