store opening

Saint Laurent’s Hedi Slimane era is no more, but a piece of the designer’s vision is coming to Vancouver’s Thurlow Street this month in the form of Canada’s first flagship boutique. The store concept was designed by Slimane when he joined the house in 2012. The monochrome marble and concrete space will house men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, accessories and the fall/winter 2016 Palladium collection—Slimane’s glammed-up ode to California rockers. Come fall, a moto jacket printed with the work of painter Alexander Muret will arrive in the store. The jacket is a part of La Collection de Paris, Slimane’s grand finale for the house.
