The place to be for Socials who love art, jools and fun
When the evite stems from the creative crew at the MMFA, you know you’re in for something special. And we were. The 2016 BIJOUX=ART Kickoff at the Museum delivered more than a healthy serving of dazzle and delish, wowing with perfect bites by the Queen E. and a one-of-a-kind style spectacular created by artistic director PASCALE BUSSIÈRES, in collaboration with superstylist AZAMIT and revered designer DENIS GAGNON, featuring jools by over 20 of the globe’s most gifted jewellery designers. Even blingier? The shiny eve raised much shiny coin for the Museum’s decorative arts and design acquisition fund. Photography KAREL CHLADEK
