SMOC and Ivan Sayers present: J'Adore - A Selection Of Some Of Ivan's Favorites From His Collection

I've been following Ivan Sayers in Fashion History, for years and can't resist taking photos and blogging each show.  Each one is different as is each course he teaches at SFU, Harbour Centre.
We all dress up and bring items to share.  We got to his house for tea and revisit the most extensive historical clothing collection in Canada. But, we celebrate always, how he makes us feel.
 
He often compliments us on our fashion choices.  He has jokes and stories, so we end our time with him, re-energized, happy and thoroughly entertained.  He helps us to appreciate our own looks as well as others.  A life long learner, he says it would be boring to know everything. We are never bored, Ivan!

We even got to share his birthday cake, this time.  H.B. Ivan!  Candles on the cake and thank you for your gifts!

Fancy, fancy and her umbrella, that enhances

Beads and glitter!  There is a story behind getting the top and 
skirt from different places and bringing them together.  
These are Dianna Drahanchuk's Aunt's. 


Unlimited talent!  Next generation continues to WOW!  
He sews his own clothes, makes his walking sticks and for this look,
