Vegging Out

June 25th, 2010

Invited to the Endive Gala at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, our first thought: Martin Margiela? Not possessing one of the reclusive Belgian designer's avant-garde ensembles we went casual-chic, all the better to complement the young and healthy crowd, like celeb chef Ned Bell, with this spray of the BC-grown vegetables. Note the light green colour—that's what you should look for.

And speaking of season-ing, his Edison's Medicine steak rub was our absolute fave of the night.

I couldn't resist snapping these kids playing in the new submarine sculpture at the Olympic Village. Now that it's no longer locked down like Fort Knox, I suggest you take a stroll this weekend.
