Last month I mixed business with pleasure during a week in Vancouver, discovering a plethora of great fashion spots in the process. Eco-fashionista Nicole Bridger just opened her new flagship store (2151 West 4th Avenue) in Kitsilano. Staying true to her environmentally conscious roots, the shops boasts green design (think elegantly reclaimed, recycled) by Vancouver's New Leaf Interiors.
If you're a Nicole Bridger fan don't miss her photo contest by submitting a photo wearing your favorite Nicole Bridger Design and why you love it by July 31st.
Malene Grotrian welcomed me into her studio for a tour of her latest collection and a glass of bubbly. The super friendly designer, originally from Denmark, is quite effervescent herself. But it's clearly her expert knack for draping and fit that keep her clients coming back. Bring your girlfriends to Malene's studio for one of her upcoming Style Soirees or hit her upcoming Open Studio on July 24th (Suite 910 - 207 West Hastings Street, in The Dominion Building) from 10am - 3pm.
Two retail shops worth checking out: The Velvet Room Boutique (2248 West 41st Avenue) which exclusively supports Canadian designers like LOVAS, Sarah Stevenson and Karamea. They have a wide selection of apparel, accessories and leather goods. And you don't have to be in Vancouver to enjoy Charlie and Lee (223 Union Street). Luckily, for those of us who are geographically challenged, they sell online. I'm currently coveting accessories by Moon Raven and shoes by Jeffrey Campbell.
Finally, Stuart Weitzman recently opened a new boutique at the Oakridge Center. That's all. (Since when do I need to say more about great shoes?)
