Hungover Empire
An eclectic collection of art, fantastical clothing in vintage & previously loved BADASS styles, unique accessories and other diversities for the alternative-minded.
We are an ever expanding concept with the addition of THIS CAFE to our fair Empire, courtesy of the infamous Tony Hisco. Come on over and check out the kick-ass coffee!
Also under our umbrella is the Local Independent Network of Companies (LINC) that supports local small businesses.
We are on the verge of launching a modeling and marketing agency called Cru Nouveau that provides snappy ads and marketing strategies. Look up the word "cru", it has a fascinating range of definitions!
Keep an eye out for our growing web of indie artists, designers and entrepreneurs cause we're gonna blow your mind!

Just to add an extra kick in the Hungover arse, we are pleased to announce that we are starting an UNCONVENTIONAL Marketing & Modeling Agency. We will be featuring our very own models, photographers, graphic designers, web designers, make up artists, hair stylists and providing our pleasantly eccentric Hungover flare for advertising.
We are going to start with some changes to the website to make room for the online portfolios of our very own Hungover stars, blogs you can follow and keep up-to-date with our growing network! We'll publish our modest price lists for all of our services, and yes you can combine services and save money. Yipeee!

Winnipeg Free Press Feature
July 21, 2009
Well, we are officially kind of a big deal. The Tuesday July 21st issue of the Winnipeg Free Press has done a feature in the Business section on our lovely establishment and its screwball unconventional marketing tactics. Holy cow!
This comes with excellent timing with the newest Hungover brainchild, born in the form of a modeling and advertising agency with more unconventional overtones such as "real people" models, photographers and graphic designers. Solid, amicable, interesting people we have met in our first year in business, with the personality and creativity that make our photoshoots great successes to start with. More news about that in the very near future.
With the addition of Sara Maximus, Shawn Fedora and Jacobus Van Houdt to my orginal photographer, and graphic designer Alyx Hildebrand, and web designer Moose (aka Paul Everton), we will be updating the site WAY more often and have WAY more pictures up, including being able to sort the pictures by photographer/model/editor. Strength in numbers my friends! Muahahahahahahaaaa!
