BRIELLE OFFICIELLE COUTURE 'ABOUT US'
"Based in Montreal, BRIELLE collection items have appeared in magazines and museums, and they are as editorial as they are ecological. The collections take inspiration from nature; sometimes directly by incorporating raw organic materials into the designs, and other times more indirectly with earth tones and textures drawing on the material culture of art history such as the Medieval, Baroque, and Rococo movements which found divine inspiration in virgin landscapes, and earthly delights in gardens."

EDITORIAL, 'TO MY UNDEFINED VALENTINE'
"In the subtle and mysterious ways of those “just friends”, a persons sense of humor, their taste in movies, their laugh, their smell are all already familiar and favored, the occasional snogging session more of a token of your appreciation of their awesomeness. And that’s beautiful! So this Valentine’s day, be ye “facebook official” or just figuring yourselves out, go out and treat whoever it is in your life who’s nice enough to use their hands on you from time to time."

WARM UP TO YOUR NEIGHBOUR WHILE WAITING FOR THE BUS
"Right outside Lionel-Groulx metro station at the 191 stop on Atwater, Duracell has installed Montreal`s first heated bus shelter, with a social spin. Quebecor has been installing our city`s sleek new interactive shelters in and around the downtown area with screens that allow you to examine maps and play with the advertisements. While these improvements do bring a certain novelty to waiting for the bus, they are minor conveniences over functions the stops already had. Now that winter is upon us, Montreal commuters are less dazzled by the gesture-recognition of the stops and are usually more preoccupied with shivering."
