More of a lifestyle than a boutique, One of a Few is a lot like realizing your dream could be a reality. Since opening their doors in 2005 in Vancouver’s Gastown neighborhood, it's been a must on every city shopping tour. You’ll find new labels and artists to love on each visit, including their own in-house label of elevated basics. Plus, owner Michelle Rizzardo is a mother of two, a pioneer in Vancouver's growing fashion scene and one of the coolest women we know.
With such an artful approach to men's and women's wear, it's not surprising Assembly's founder began his career in the art world. Greg Armas was at the helm of galleries before opening his store on the Lower East Side in 2008. A namesake line followed in 2012 and a second forward-thinking retail environment in Los Angeles three years later. In addition to their own label, Assembly New York and Los Angeles focus on international and otherwise independent designers who maintain an emphasis on craft and design as an ethos, regardless of trend.
