This winter 2017, Vancouver will see an onslaught of a few world-renowned fashion and clothing stores that will call Vancouver home. This is good news and bad news, but it’s mostly really, really, good news.
These new additions to the Vancouver fashion scene are only bad news if you already love these stores and the clothes are the secret weapons of your stylish mystique.
Come winter 2017, the days of having exclusive statement pieces from faraway retailers will be gone, because they’ll be here. So, the jig is up. Now everyone will have access to beautiful clothes that the international market already loves the world over. And, come springtime, everyone in Vancouver is going to be looking much more fashionable thanks to ready to ware fashion institutions like COS, MUJI and Uniqlo.
COS
The London based and universally loved COS or “Collective of Style” will finally open its doors this winter in Vancouver’s historic Gastown. And in light of this year’s brutally cold winter, the timing couldn’t be better. The fashion house is like an upscale H&M as they’re owned by the same company, but what sets COS apart is that COS is higher quality and more high fashion minded.
The store will feature COS’s full collection of menswear and womenswear, plus their beautifully designed shoes, bags, jewelry – everything. And of course, all items will feature their signature sleek European lines on ready to wear pieces. COS has been the “go to” retailer across Europe and some parts of North America for those statement staple pieces that look like a million bucks but don’t cost it.
We can all agree that Europeans have a certain je nais sais quoi, so it’s no surprise that COS is a well loved European staple for the brand’s trademark modern, clean lines and neutral palette. However as of right now, there are only a three stores in Canada, which makes Vancouver’s Gastown location the fourth. Sartorialists will rejoice, but exactly when is TBD. But with COS’s abundance of high quality fashion forward styles at a fair price point, it’s not opening soon enough.
