Well this is just odd, especially as the thermometer dips at a steady pace across the city. A Montreal ‘College’ sweatshirt ($210. Wait, $210? Really?) from Acne. Perhaps its ironic, a la Urban Outfitters or Busted Tees-esque. Or maybe it’s all relative – Montreal may just be a tropical paradise, even in January, when you’re in the middle of a pitch black permanent midnight in Stockholm.
Or, and this is my favourite explanation, it’s an acknowledgment of Montreal’s fantasy island status, its Never Never Land atmosphere where no one arrives anywhere on time and instead of growing up people just ride unicycles and play drums in the park and bring their own 40s to ridiculously cheap gourmet dinners.
Swedes are so smart.
