Dressed to Thrill

I can afford a blemish on my character, but not on my clothes."

-From the film noir classic, Laura (1944)

Murder is afoot on October 28 with Dial R for RefineryEdmonton’s most sensational and glamourous Halloween event. Inspired by classic film noir themes, this Refinery late-night art party invites you to slip into something a bit more noir. Are you the femme fatale with the smoking gun, the private detective on the case, the ex-gangster looking for redemption or the victim of circumstance? Intrigue is the game and murder is in the cards so be sure to dress the part.

Not sure what to wear to Refinery? Check out some of our favourite looks from the Dial R for Refinery Pinterest board and be sure to accessorize with your best alibi.

Classic lines and refined suits

Get the story straight and crack the case wide open with classically tailored suits that don’t take no for an answer.

 

Hats

Dark times ahead and stormy weather’s a-brewing. Protect yourself from the elements and unwanted attention with a perfectly tilted fedora.

 

Glamour, darling

Femme fatale or red-hot siren—one thing she’s not is a shrinking violet. She’s travelled the world and has stories to tell but when it comes to helping the case her lips are sealed.

Dial R for Refinery and step into a world of mystery and noir. Dress the part, get your story straight and see you there.
