Naděje's Got Gingham at Café Névé

Image has been purposely blurred in order to protect the copyright of the designer, or at least to encourage Naděje to send us in another pic!

6th July, Twenty-Twelve (Montreal) Café Névé is basically Gingham Central. Peruse back through our archive and you will see time and again, how this small Café brings in the Gets. Take our friend Naděje here. Actually, don't take her, we want to keep her. Particularly once we saw this incredible yellow Vichy Summer Love Special Naděje uses to shine up every room. Actually, this dress has been known to stop rain showers and thunderstorms on a wet July weekend. For this we are eternally grateful, and forever in Naděje's debt as we can safely plan our outdoor picnics knowing she is out there, helping us, protecting us, the Goddess Bringer of Sunshine.

MORE GINGHAM FROM Café Névé GINGHAM SPY-CAM

Yeah, he thinks he was hired because of his culinary artistry, but wearing Gingham surely tipped the scales in his favour.

Gingham gives you patience, even as people wearing stripes and solids jump you in the queue.

No point asking her out. We ALL have a crush on the girl behind the counter. Wait a minute, he's Got Gingham, so perhaps there's a chance.

MORE GINGHAM ON THE STREETS OF THE CITY

Foodies flock to this store in the Mile-End. It has high standards of quality. We can tell by looking at their customers.

Trying to look cool while out in your Gingham? No trying necessary: putting others in the shade is a walk in the park.

Not that we advocate possessiveness in a romantic relationship... but definitely, she's a keeper.

Some people you can spot a mile away. Here our friend Jennings poses for us on Rue Rachel.

Not many people realize it but Houndstooth is no more than a large-pixel Gingham pattern.

Wearing Gingham means you need less deodorant. This guy is still checking, just to be polite.

Youth Culture has taken to Gingham like... all that other stuff Youth Culture is attracted to.

Olivia and Tom outside Blizzarts... Tom wearing a custom-made Gingham Chavalier nobody in the world has seen.

There is nothing more sensible than wearing decent open-toe shoes in the sunshine, with Gingham.

Who cares what model car you drive when you're running around in Eighth-Wave Gingham?

Who needs a Summer Breeze when you got this thing howling between the trees?

You can't always get what you want, but you can Get Gingham. You should try some time...

CUL DE SAC'S GOT GINGHAM AGAIN!

Cul de Sac, the legendary Montreal friperie, we chose you to end this post.

Today's caption "This is not a joke" is actually very much an attempt at humour.

Salvatore Rules Rue Ste-Catherine In His Gingham

Salvatore is trying to quit smoking, but his job is just too easy. As for quitting Gingham? Not that simple.

"Hey, check out Salvatore over there!"

2nd April, Twenty-twelve (Montreal) Rue Ste-Catherine in Montreal is one of the more famous streets in the world [see more]. That's where we met our friend here Salvatore, which means he is one of the more famous Salvatore's in the world. Taking a break from his job of simply having to duck watching the Gingham fly off the racks at Zara [see more], Salvatore wanted to say hello to all you springtime Gingham Getters getting ready for the sunshine. Very few can carry off this look of Gingham shirt and tie, but on St-Catherine Street, anything goes. We soon spotted a crowd of guys heading after Salvatore and trying to adopt his 'look.' Can't blame them. Want to, but can't. They've Got Gingham.

Old Believer's Brendan Birkett [see more] warming up for his April 9th show at Casa del Popolo [see more].

Old Believer? When it comes to Gingham we're called Brainwashed Cult-members.

Skeptics disperse when a close-up view reveals the REAL THING. Now they believe in Gingham.

Today's caption: "Who said that?" is brought to you by all of those people who make us paranoid.
