Boutique le Trou

This edgy shop is an ode to avant-garde Canadiana couture. Although the clothes aren’t for everyone, progressive shoppers with big budgets 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 acid 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 completely irresistible.
