Fashion’s Wild Side:
A West Coast cool-hunter’s guide
Anyone who thinks that Vancouver’s fashion scene is boring probably does the majority of her shopping at Pacific Centre, Metrotown or on Robson Street.

To be really, truly, so-amazed-you-don’t-even-know-where-to-start inspired, then, you just have to know where to look. And if these pieces are too rich for your budget, at least you can steal a few ideas when you’re shopping for knock-offs.
