Street Style: Friday Night Live at the ROM
On Friday, hundreds of sartorially minded partiers gathered at the ROM for a fashion-focused edition of Friday Night Live, the weekly summer event that transforms the museum into a pseudo-nightclub. The event featured DJs, dance floors, local food vendors and more than a few stacked bars—attendees grooved to tunes while ogling prehistoric dinosaur bones and crystals. Friday’s guest list was as diverse as the relics on display: we spotted students, architects and designers all dressed to impress in their museum-party best. Here, our 19 favourite looks.
Agatha Bieniek
28, Designer
“I’m very ’70s today. I designed and made this jumper.”
Kadeem Griffiths
24, Communications advisor
“I guess with the cape and glasses I’m going for a hipster-chic look, like I just came from Coachella.”
Sophie St. Jean
20, Student
“I came for a dance party, so I’m dressed sassy and fiery.”
Peter Ha
27, Graphic designer
“My friend made this shirt for me. She was studying costume design for films.”
Naz Ahmed
22, Student
“My look is very punk-meets-rustic.”
Marco Cortez
31, Social media manager
“I just wanted a reason to wear this Margiela coat—where else would I be able to wear such an oversized topper? At this party, you can be a little more out of the box.”
Alex Jetski
30, Architect
“I’m an architect, so I usually wear black jeans with a black turtleneck, but tonight I pulled apart my entire closet trying to find something with colour.”
Harpreet Sandhu
23, Student
“My style is non-binary.”
Anne Fard
23, Student
“My look tonight is fun and springy. And I guess a little eccentric, too—not like everyone else.”
Burger Kim
28, Visual merchandiser
“I don’t really go for any particular style.”
Matin Mithras
25, Student
“Most of my outfit is from Zara. I like to dress simply: not too many patterns or textures. I prefer neutrals to saturated colours. That said, I always like to add a little eye candy. Today, it’s my plaid pants.”
Elena Monterreal
24, Sales associate
“I prefer to wear dark colours.”
Meaghan Elizabeth
28, Writer
“I wanted to wear something comfortable, since I’ve been out all day. It’s so nice out—I’m happy I can wear something like this and look cute.”
Ingrid Backer
26, Student
“I’m all about the glittery party dress tonight.”
Lundon Clark
33, Sales associate
“I’m not a fashion person—but I do like bright colours.”
Siham Mo
29, Operations manager
“My look is comfortable, slightly creative and culturally infused.”
Warren Sit
26, Analyst
“I just really wanted to wear shorts and a blazer tonight. Also, I love Curious George—he’s on my bowtie.”
Alicia Menzies
30, Marketing coordinator
“My look is kinda big and shaggy tonight. I bought this vest a while ago and never thought I’d wear it.”
Natasha Gray
24, Nurse
“I love this classic little black dress—it can be worn anywhere.”
