triple threat

and who said men in vancouver weren't stylish?

two tribes - black and white

purple reign

things will be great when you're downtown

this young woman was quite reluctant to have her picture taken. when i mentioned that i was doing a street fashion blog, she asked "are you sure i won't be on the bad list?" - nothing could be further from the truth.

spring into colour

even though it has been miserable this past week in vancouver, this young woman proves that you can be brazen with your colour combination and it can work. embrace spring vancouverites, even if it isn't sunny outside.

in the beginning

This is the start of a street fashion blog (oh no, another one!) that is trying to connect with a city that has the reputation of being well, boring. Toronto has the pulse of being Canada's New York; Montreal has the European influence; heck, even Calgary has the money to ride the recession and drive the fashionistas to Holt Renfrew with Cowboy hats in check. (All three cities also had a H&M before we were blessed with the flagship store that opened at Pacific Centre in 2008.) So what about Vancouver? The city has been documented as a gortex capital of Canada of sorts, and if you look out of any street corner, you are bound to see women wear Lululemon pants with Aritzia jackets. But, as a former Vancouver street fashion blog, The Commodified, has documented - it is fashionable - putting it on par with its eastern metropolis neighbors, Toronto and Montreal.
So what about this blog? Seeing as the main street fashion blog, The Commodified, is no longer updated, I saw an opportunity to pick up the reigns. This blog is designed not only to document the eclectic aesthetic of fashion in Vancouver but to also, above all, have fun with style through these photographs.
