Gallery Bespoke exhibits the mundane as the exquisite. Take its gold lambkin and Teflon oven mitts as example. Or laser-cut brass plates on black twill canvas cushion covers, proudly displayed on the wall. The idea is home furnishings turned haute couture, and Camal Pirbhai is the brain behind it all. I drop by Camal's Yorkville gallery just as he's in the midst of shooting for his next collection. Paired up with production team OTALKO, the "Accessory" collection features 10 mini-films shot over 10 days where models wear household furnishings as they would high fashion clothing. But I turn my attention to Camal's current exhibit, "Fool Me Once," in which he paired up with artist and friend Norah Deacon to create curtain panels that are much more than something you'd use to block the sun. http://www.blogto.com/gallery/gallery-bespoke-toronto/
