Model Citizens Members Cocktail Event- THIS FRIDAY at 7:30pm-9:30pm



We are so excited to invite you to our first ever Members Only Cocktail Night! 

We are going to get the evening started at 7:30p. While you sip champagne and taste some of our delectable sweets, you will have the MEMBERS privilege of shopping in a fun atmosphere outside of store hours. Guests will be greeted at the door, where we will take your coat. You'll want to make an effort to arrive on time to receive a special Model Citizens Swag Bag (limited quantities folks- and they are sa-weet!).

For those of you wondering what it means to be a "member", it would mean that you purchased our year-long membership card. If you can't remember how it looks, it's the cute lil' card that says "I ♥ MC" in green and purple! If you haven't made the leap and signed up, here's how it happens:

You pay a once a year fee of $25, you will receive 10% off every purchase you make for an entire year- and yes, unlikely many other memberships, our card discount is stackable with in store sales. So you know our big Boxing Day sale? Yep. Members get another 10%!! Not to mention discounts on alterations, and invites to special events like these!

Members are strongly encouraged to bring a pal or two- it's gonna be fun! If they are without discount card and would then like to take advantage of the 10%, they will be offered the card for $12.50!

Come check out this one night only mega shopping opportunity! All clothes are available for purchase that night, no holds will be permitted. Once the clock strikes 9:30 all clothes will go back into our mystical magical wardrobe and business as usual will resume Saturday morning. Don't miss out!!

OH! And we're getting fancy! We've needed an excuse to get prettied up all winter, join us!! :)


XO, Model Citizens Staff!

Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford: Oscars 2012


I think this may be my favourite of the night. Unbelievably minimalist and so clean and luxurious that it makes me salivate. I love this look so much and she is a vision. Also, Tom Ford is a a genius.

Meryl Streep in Lanvin Oscars 2012


Meryl Streep in Lanvin. Beauty!

Tina Fey Oscars 2012


My idol, Tina Fey is wearing Carolina Herrera (exclusively) and I think she looks so chic. The shape is lovely and right on trend. I would have loved to have seen a colour on her, but it doesn't take anything away from this fabulous dress.

Emma Stone Oscars 2012


I just love this Giambattista Valli dress. Best Dressed list for sure. It is a bit reminiscent of Nicole Kidman a few years back, but it doesn't matter. It is so stunning and Emma looks youthful and lux.

Octavia Spencer at the Oscars 2012


Octavia Spenser in Tadashi. Absolutely beautiful in this sparkly number. The fit is great and so is the colour. We love it!
