A popular Montreal fashion store is transforming into a “suburban oasis” as part of Justin Bieber and Ryan Good’s “drew house” initiative.
Drew house, a community co-founded by Bieber and Good, is a place where guests “can be yourself and loved, encouraged, safe and valued,” says its social media channels.
As of March 29, SSENSE is collaborating with Bieber, Good, and drew house to create an “immersive experience” until April 3. The collab is a preview for when SSENSE will exclusively launch a limited number of select drew house items in May.

Guests will be able to discover various interactive opportunities throughout the downtown space, including street-level graphics artfully splattered on the building’s façade (using drew house’s signature graphics), a suburban oasis-living room vibe (mirroring the brand’s LA house), plush characters, home objects, and more.
