Situated in Vancouver’s Downtown, this shop provides an original perspective on fashion through a diverse and thoughtful selection of designers. By combing through the market for hard-to-find labels and sought-after contemporary designers, Chan stocks the space with everything from t-shirts to pants to coats that all blur the line between traditional mens- and womenswear 017’s motto: “If we don’t have full faith in a brand and their product, we simply will not carry it.” Amen.

Maison Kitsuné is a combination of the two coolest types of labels that exist in the world today: an indie music label and a fashion label. And they’re based in Paris, on top of it all, and take their name from the Japanese word for “fox,” with designs that often also take inspiration from Japanese youth and music culture. But despite all that indomitable tastemaking in one place, Kitsuné clothes are still accessible and easy to wear, loaning a little kick to even the most boring wardrobe. It really is the best of all possible worlds.
