If it’s a big name, you will probably find it here. Recent renovations overseen by local design team Burdifilek have been steadily turning the once faintly stodgy store into an airy, modern mecca of rich woods, Lucite and shimmery metals. The World Design Lab is the place to find lesser-known (for now) cutting-edge designers; other new lines in the Bloor store include Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, and Greta Constantine; hot New Yorkers Derek Lam, Marc Jacobs and Milly for women; Marni for men; and Balenciaga and Chloé glasses for all. Holt’s also uses its considerable market muscle to get exclusive dibs on sought-after brands—if you’re looking for the likes of Canadian Jeremy Laing or Marc by Marc Jacobs, this is place to go.
