Boutique le Trou

This edgy shop is an ode to avant-garde Canadiana couture. Although the clothes aren’t for everyone, progressive shoppers enthusiastically embrace the offerings from Vancouver’s Obakki, as well as fashion-forward pieces by Toronto designer Zoran Dobric. Standouts this year include Lucian Matise’s hand-painted silk dresses in acidy yellows, greens and blues, and Ma­­rie Saint Pierre’s eveningwear, featuring ex­­quisite Japanese Shibori pleating. For evening glam, Ja­­son Meyers’s strapless cocktail dress in au cour­­ant magenta ($1,000) is irresistible.
