We love: Katie's uber elegant look.
Katie Snets, 22
What do you do? Student (11 days remaining), actor/singer
What do you like? I like lying in bed and lying in the sun
What do you hate? going to the dentist.
Where do you shop? Olivia, Club Monaco, Friperies on Mount Royal... am I a loser if I say Winners? (Ed. Note: It's not about where you got it but how you wear it!)
Where do the clothes you are wearing come from (in the picure)? This is a dress I bought at the H&M in London. The jacket is my roommates and the purse I've had since 4th grade.
What are you reading? The Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald.
How would you describe Mtl’s style? Montreal is an ecclectic mix of hipster and laissez-faire. Montrealers also try to transcend time in their style. When people say 'the 80s are so in right now', it's not true, all of history is in. Look at my dress, it's kind of 40s inspired. You see 1920s pumps, the 50s pencil skirt, chunky 60s patterns... 'Retro' is too limited a term. Anyway, maybe that's not Montreal. Maybe that's the 21st century.
"Maybe that's not Montreal. Maybe that's the 21st century."
How long have you been in Montréal for? 4 years
What do you listen to? I often like soft, sad music. Right now I'm listening to Paulhino Moska. Its Brazilian.
What do you watch? I also like soft, sad movies. But I like all kinds of movies: mob/heist movies, foreign films, movies about dancing... I don't watch a lot of TV.
Where do you go out? I don't have any regular places. This picture was taken when I was on my way to an awards banquet at 940. Then i went to Green Room. I like to go dining and dancing.
What’s your favourite expression? "Get outta town"
Describe your style: I usually wear neutrals and earth tones, nothing flashy but i try to be eye-catching. i'd call it classic cut with a little edge, feminine, nostalgic, romantic...
Where do you find your inspiration? For clothes?! Ha! It doesn't really work that way.
What can’t you live without? well, a little affection from time to time. but if you mean style-wise, i have a tiger's eye ring that's pretty sentimental.
How do you organize your closet? From left to right: jackets, sweaters, shirts, blouses, dresses, skits, pants. It seems to me a rational progression.
What's going to be hot next season: "Exposed backs: Clevage is out, spine is in."
Tell us a secret: under the dress in the picture, i'm wearing a really cute blue slip i bought at village de valeur.
