Sure, Art Deco was a stunning architectural style, but there is oh so much more to it than that. Art
Deco was a lifestyle…it touched clothing, accessories, furniture, art,
sculpture…you get the picture. This period also brought on the birth of
cocktail culture and was all about glamour…what on earth is sexier than that?
Toronto… or Hollywood North as it’s known to many these
days, is an absolute gem when it comes to this amazing style and what I’m
going to do is this: I’m going to show you some amazing architecture, I’m going
to take you to the coolest bars that serve up the best Art Deco era cocktails
in town, heck, I’ll even show you how to make them. I’ll buy beat up, vintage
furniture and restore its former glory and I’ll show you how to do the same.
Art Deco fabric, glassware, jewellery….why not talk about film why we’re at it? I think I’ve made my point here, but this
blog will show you not only Toronto’s Art Deco past, but how even today, its
presence can be felt across the city. Yes -
Art Deco really is the bees knees.
While this blog gains some steam (and after!) please check
out my sisters to the south @ArtDecoDivas www.ArtDecoDivas.Blogspot.com

ventures brewing that will be sure to tantalize, so stay tuned!
